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

Expecting a strong pace headed by La La Meteo, Yagiri Ibis and Crimson Prince. SITHEP (2) has won five from nine and is unbeaten in two runs this preparation,. Hard to go past on recent form. ORIKO EL DORADO (1) was in a different class last time, registering a dominant 4 lengths win over 1500m at this track to make it two in a row. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the lead. Expected to be in the finish. YAGIRI IBIS (3) was in contention on the turn and finished second last start over 1500m at Urawa, beaten 0.8 lengths. This is a nice race and can get the job done. VALENTINE GIFT (8) is back from a nine weeks spell and he does run well first-up, including a win over 1600m at this track at the start of last prep. Sure to make his presence felt.
