|---|---|---|---|---|

Plenty of pressure with Riko Luger, Sai And Ko and Kitasan Hikoboshi leading the charge. CLAIR JACK (6) was an impressive winner last time over 1200m at this track, stalking the pace before lengthening nicely to score by 2.5 lengths. Record here is impressive with seven wins from 17 starts. Will prove tough to beat. PRESTO STELLA (1) is back from a 11 weeks spell and he does run well first-up, including a win over 1400m at this track at the start of last prep. Has found a suitable race to kick off the campaign. JET SPEED (14) turned in a fine effort to win by a neck at this track and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up result. Nicely placed to score once again. SAI AND KO (12) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth and beaten 4.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Has a very good record here with nine wins from 11 starts. Solid claims on best form.
