Dia Graf should find the front with Transcendence and Zendan Sky on his heels. DIA GRAF (5) made it two wins on the bounce last time out when he scored by 2 lengths over 1700m at this track. Meets some better types this time but a big run is on the cards. AMBROSIANA (4) returned from a break with a modest fifth over 1700m at this track when she jumped from a wide gate. Has a very strong record at this course with three wins from four starts. Wataru Hirose who has four wins when partnering stays on. Best form puts her right in this. ZENDAN SKY (6) went forward last start over 1700m at this track and held on well for second, beaten 2 lengths. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. TRANSCENDENCE (8) has four placings from six appearances this campaign and last start finished 2.25 lengths from the winner in third over 1700m at this track. One of the main contenders.
