Steel Guitar Rag has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. BANG ON TIME (3) resumes from a spell of nine weeks. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1600m at Tokyo. Good effort to open last prep when in the money at this track over 1600m. Has placed 6/7 so far including 3/3 fresh. Go close. Y'S FAMIGLIA (1) resumes from a spell of nine weeks. Could only manage to finish sixth at the latest run over 1600m at Tokyo. Has ability and is a solid chance. LE SILLAGE (2) finished third last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 1.1 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BELLE RENCONTRE (16) was prominent at the corner and finished second last time over 1800m at Fukushima, beaten 1.5 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects.
