Genuine pace with Smart Scepter taking up the running ahead of Virya and Ziggurat. WALRUS (10) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second here two starts back then got the job done by 30 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he deserves plenty of thought. ZIGGURAT (6) has five wins and one placing from eight runs this campaign. Found a couple better last start at this track over 1870m after being up on the pace all the way. The engagement of F Komaki is a positive move. In the right race and is a key runner. VIRYA (12) clocked in second behind Sanono Espo last time out at Saga over 1750m. Boasts dominant form here with seven wins from nine starts. Winning claims on best figures. SMARAGDOS (2) returned from a spell eight days ago when he was seventh over 1870m at this track. Fitter with top-three prospects.
