Koei Brave has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. YAMANO IMPACT (4) settled well back but hit the line well to finish fourth, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1600m here last time. Capable of overwhelming this field late in proceedings. BELLE VIOLETTE (9) was in the finish last time when beaten just 0.9 lengths into third over 1600m at this track. Likely to be fighting out the finish. TOA GOOD LUCK (12) finished fourth last time out over 1600m at this track. One of the main contenders. BANDONEON (5) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a third over 1600m at this track. Should figure in the finish again.
