Moderate tempo headed by Gyro. GYRO (2) continues to race well with a win two back here before finishing 1.5 lengths away in second last time over 1000m at this track. Should be poised just off the lead. Best form puts him right in this. PINK VENOM (5) improved last start but found a couple better over 1200m at this track. Nearing a win and should run well again. DER FLUG (4) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished third two starts back then landed the prize by a head last time out over 1200m at this track. Kondo Shogetsu scored on him last time and retains the mount. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is good enough to play a major role. OMEGA RAINBOW (6) raced on pace for much of the way before fading in the straight to finish sixth over 1200m here last time. Can feature in the finish.
