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

Plenty of pace evident with Daichino Napoli and T O Al Ain leading the way from Rosa Rugosa and Shimi Hattoku. T O AL AIN (4) is a promising galloper who got the prize at his last run before a break ten weeks ago over 1600m at Chukyo. Has won when fresh from a spell in the past. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Leading contender. OLUFSEN (8) met with solid support when resuming last start over 2000m at Listed level at Tokyo when ninth, beaten 5.5 lengths. Can bounce back over this journey. SHIMI HATTOKU (2) finished 3 lengths behind the winner in fourth over 1600m in the G3 Churchill Downs (Arlington) Cup at Hanshin last start after lifting strongly to score two back. Ran on strongly in tougher grade last time. Drawn for a soft run and should finish hard. ROSA RUGOSA (1) broke his maiden last start over 1800m at this track when resuming, scoring by 3 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Big winner fresh and has good upside. Fitter and worth including.
