Plenty of early pace with Exmedi Gold and Red Weiss to vie for the lead, pressured by Alpha Madonna and Entusiasta. EXMEDI GOLD (9) is a last-start winner over 1500m at this track, showing good early speed on the occasion and leading throughout to score. Kota Motohashi who has two wins when partnering stays on. Expecting a bold showing. EMMY'S MITSUO (1) lifted strongly to score by half a length last start at this track at the second run of the campaign. Big chance to keep the fine form going. HIGHEST CODE (5) was out of the money last start over 1600m at this track when finishing fourth. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ALPHA MADONNA (6) fought on for second last start over 1600m at this track, to add to some fine recent form. Likely improver with strong prospects.
