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

Abundant pace from Salt Rock, Knife Rest and Yamasho Queen vying for the lead with Melia on their backs. NEO GOLD (2) had a bit on his rivals last time with an impressive 3 lengths win over 1400m at this track. Key chance in form and should go close again. YAMASHO QUEEN (4) turned in a fine effort to score by 1.5 lengths at this track and distance last start in a far better run. Can salute again. MELIA (5) missed the placings when eighth over 1400m at this track. Anticipating a big run this time. SALT ROCK (10) travelled just behind the leader before taking over and scoring a determined win by a neck over 1000m here last time. Takanori Yoshimoto who has scored on her two times retains the mount. One of the better hopes.
