|---|---|---|---|---|

Small field in which Wind Cave can find the front comfortably at a moderate tempo. SISYPHUS (5) finished strongly to place second over 1600m at Kawasaki last start, making up plenty of ground in the run home. He thrives at this journey with four wins from nine starts and should be closing powerfully again. MARUKA IGUAZU (2) returns from a break since July 21. Fresh he’s a danger, boasting three wins from four first-up runs, including over 1870m at this track last prep. One of the main chances. VICTIPHARUS (1) steps up for a new yard after a ten-week spell, having previously finished rearward in a Group 3 at Chukyo Dirt over 1400m. Expected to make his presence felt in this easier assignment. LUCKY DREAM (6) lines up after a long break. Has six wins and two placings from 10 runs first-up and must be respected.
