Iyasaka is expected to cross from a wide alley and lead. GOLTZSCHTAL (4) added to his impressive record with a win over 2400m at Hanshin at his last appearance before a break 11 weeks ago. Has a strong first-up record with one wins from two runs so he is expected to go very well. ALL SAINTS (5) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fifth, beaten 4 lengths, over 2000m in the G3 Kokura Kinen. Has further improvement to come and looks a clear threat. CAN'T WAIT (6) is a strong fresh performer back after a break of 12 weeks and looking to emulate his win at Kyoto to kick off the last campaign. Solid chance. SADAMU OPSIS (16) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by a neck over 2000m at this track. Fitter for that last hitout and must be included.
