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

Strong tempo to be established by Marble Rock, Rouge Stunning and Snark Raffaello. Plenty of chances. T O PASSWORD (16) wound up strongly only to just miss when first-up as favourite last start at Listed level over 1600m at this track. Will take a lot from that hit-out. Back a little in grade so expecting another big run. AMANTE BIANCO (6) is a progressive galloper who is first-up since finishing seventh over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt 12 weeks ago which was the only run of that prep. Christophe Lemaire who has scored on him twice retains the mount. Should be hard to stop. J PALMS (12) never really threatened when resuming last time out, finishing midfield and beaten 8 lengths over 1800m in the G3 Antares Stakes at Hanshin Dirt. Will find this much easier. Capable of taking this out. KITANO'S EDGE (14) built on a nice third when fresh from a spell two starts back in Listed grade at Hanshin Dirt with success over 1400m at the same track eight weeks ago, getting home by half a length. Right in contention.
