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

Solid tempo anticipated with Michael Maximus heading them off. MICHAEL MAXIMUS (2) ran below expectations last time at this track over 1500m, finishing fourth. Reunites with Norifumi Mikamoto who has eight wins from 10 rides. Should be in the finish. NOBLE GALE (3) lines up on the back of a 4.5 lengths fifth over 2000m at Ohi. In the mix. BANNERMAN TESORO (8) returned from a spell six days ago when he finished sixth over 1700m at Funabashi. Meeting a deeper field this time but he cannot be taken lightly. TONOPAH (6) was well in commission last time out but could only manage to finish eighth over 1400m at Urawa in a disappointing performance. Likely improver with strong prospects.
