Expecting Meiner Lacaille to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. MEINER LACAILLE (3) had a bit on his rivals last time with an impressive 3 lengths win over 1500m at this track. Has a high cruising speed. Best figures should see him run well. MANNO LIGHTNING (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths into fourth. Won't find this as tough so he is a major player. IINE IINE IINE (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 2500m at Kasamatsu, beaten 5 lengths into sixth. Finds a suitable assignment and can take this out. EIGHT WAN (5) was a long way back last start but hit the line well to finish fifth, beaten 3 lengths, over 1500m at this track. Solid top-three prospects.
