Expecting Haseno Brian to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. WARA (1) has put together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on July 30 over 1200m when he got home by one length. Winning rider Masashige Honda retains the mount and is nicely placed to play a pivotal role. ZEUS BISTY (8) scored by 1.5 lengths over this course and distance last time out. Yet to miss the placings here in an excellent record which boasts two wins and one placing. One of the major players. HASENO BRIAN (6) has been kept fresh since an all-the-way win over 1200m here. Winning rider aboard again and will be in this for a long way. JACK ORANGE (9) could only manage eighth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1200m at this venue, beaten just one length. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.
