From wide out Sehr Schnell can slide over and set up a genuine tempo. GULDEN DRAAK (12) was safely held in better company two runs back then appreciated the easier grade last time, scoring over 1600m at Ohi. In winning form now and should go well again. SEHR SCHNELL (10) has won 11 from 13 and is unbeaten in two runs this campaign, including success at this circuit last start. In top form and among the leading chances. MAPLE TAPIT (5) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when 13th, beaten 7 lengths, over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. PLUM DANDY (13) is fresh from a spell of 11 months and did hit the frame when last resuming at Fukushima Dirt over 1700m. In a different yard now.
