Expecting Yukiguni to take up the running with Gentle Touch and Viv Air close at hand. SOUND BACH (8) built on a nice second two starts back at this track with a win as favourite over 1400m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by half a length. Masashige Honda scored on him last time and retains the ride. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. GENTLE TOUCH (10) put the writing on the wall last start and was beaten just a neck into second over 1600m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can get the job done. YUKIGUNI (11) kicked off this campaign with a win two runs ago. Less impressive last time out when seventh over 1500m at Urawa after being prominent at the corner. Finds a suitable race and can get the job done. DREAM JAPAN (7) raced on the speed and lifted to score by 3 lengths at this track and trip when resuming from a break last time out. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
