Speed assured from Shigerutsukimizake, Exmedi No Kiseki and Dia Crystal pressing on ahead of Great Indy. SHIGERUTSUKIMIZAKE (1) pushed forward from a wide draw last time and found the front, leading around the bend but capitulating to finish seventh over 1500m at this track. Expected to measure up here. Take catching. FACE KAWASAKI (5) worked home well to grab third at his latest appearance at this track over 1800m. Will drift back but wind up late. Best form puts him right in this. ALPHA WINDSOR (7) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when 12th, beaten 17 lengths, over 1500m at this track. Meets some better types this time but he has the talent to test this line-up. GREAT INDY (8) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing seventh at this track over 1800m after being in contention on the corner. Best figures measure up nicely. Can do a lot better.
