Expecting Presto Emma to set a genuine tempo after crossing from wide out. FIFTIES (12) reunites with Takayuki Yano after scoring with ease over 2000m at Kawasaki last time. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and a placing from three starts. Leading contender. MAGIC WORDS (11) is having his first run since October 2. Has a very good fresh record, scoring two times including one over 1200m at this track at the start of last prep. Sure to make his presence felt. MIDNIGHT HAWK (9) was safely held in better company two runs back then appreciated the easier grade last time, scoring over 1800m at this track. Rates highly and can measure up again. DAITA JUSTICE (6) is third up today. Turned in a better run last time when fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths, at this track over 1800m. Should be poised just off the lead. In the mix.
