Solid tempo from Cannetille kicking up ahead of Lord Four Aces from out wide. LORD FOUR ACES (11) is back at the races for the first time since February 1. Talented galloper who was runner-up in this last year. Has a strong record overall and goes very well fresh. Hard to beat. SO DARN RIGHT (2) scored by a neck when resuming last start at this track over this distance. Promising filly who returned with a fast finishing win and will strip even fitter. Excellent winning chance.A SK ONE TIME (10) has been in the placings at his last two appearances, finishing third over 1200m at Hanshin most recently. Should be involved in the finish. TAMAMO BLACK TIE (3) defied a lack of market support last start, scoring by 1.3 lengths over 1200m at Hanshin. Strong second-up winner and has won third-up. Drawn much better and looks a big chance.
