Strong tempo assured from Orpheus and Prevenance leading the charge. SHIMME LOIN (2) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished second, beaten a head, over 2000m at Kawasaki. Likely improver with strong prospects. ORPHEUS (5) improved nicely last time out to score by 1.5 lengths over 1600m at this track. The extra ground looks likely to suit and he can go on with it. OVERMASTER (14) has filled a minor placing at both runs this time in work and looks close to a maiden win, the latest effort a third over 1500m at this track. Cannot be overlooked. STEEL WILL (11) was comfortably accounted for when sixth last time out over 1800m at this track, beaten 10 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Well placed and can make amends.
