A solid tempo is anticipated with Frankie Barows and Gordale Scar kicking up to hold out the next wave. FRANKIE BAROWS (5) returned last time with a solid second at Kyoto Dirt over 1800m after being in the firing line on the corner. Still a maiden but has filled seven minor placings, all at today's distance. That maiden win looks imminent. SONIC STEP (7) was out of the money but most impressive when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track, beaten just 0.9 lengths. Fitter and sure to run well. DANON FERSEN (6) was never in contention when resuming last start over 1800m at this track, finishing 11th and beaten 16 lengths. Among the leading chances on his best form. YOUNG AMERICANS (3) finished third last time over 1800m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 1.5 lengths. Will trim down second-up. In the mix.
