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

Strong tempo with Navy Star, Chomechome and Gentle Touch leading the way. SMILE MORE (10) scored at this track last time out with 3 lengths in reserve at the end of 1700m. Has three wins here. Should go well again. STAR OF FAITH (11) didn't do a bad job when fifth last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths after he worked home in good style. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GENTLE TOUCH (9) went forward and battled home into fourth over 1600m at Kawasaki last time. Has to overcome a tricky draw. Rates well and will be in this for a long way. AMESTRIS (7) showed good early speed then led into the straight when fresh from a spell last start before fighting on to finish third, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 2000m at Kawasaki. Can feature in the finish.
