Expecting Snark Thunder to take up the running with A Shin Hoyupu and Mononofu Yellow close at hand. ELPIZO (4) has really found form lately, easily winning again last start over 1230m at Sonoda. Can continue to build on the strong recent form. SNARK THUNDER (8) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1400m at Sonoda. Well placed and a key runner. A SHIN HOYUPU (3) found plenty to salute by one length three runs back at Sonoda before filling a minor placing at her last two starts. S Kawahara who has four wins when partnering stays on. Certainly one to consider. MONONOFU YELLOW (2) ran well despite being friendless in betting last time over 1400m at this track, finishing third and only beaten 0.6 lengths at $224.10. Can feature in the finish again.
