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

Genuine pace with Polygon Wave taking up the running ahead of Lord Midnight and Jet Emblem. POLYGON WAVE (11) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1300m at Kochi, finishing 1.2 lengths from the winner. Will be hard to beat. OMATSURI OTOKO (9) opened this campaign last start with a third, beaten 2 lengths, over 1400m at Sonoda. Sure to prove tough to stop. PACE SETTING (6) resumed over 1400m at Sonoda last start and was too good for his rivals, scoring by half a length. Fitter for that last hitout and looks a big threat to the top selection. OMEGA RAINBOW (5) returned from a spell a week-and-a-half ago when he was beaten 1.5 lengths into sixth over 1300m at Kochi. Strips fitter and can feature in the finish.
