Cresco Yusha is expected to burn across and lead from the wide gate. CRESCO YUSHA (11) was an impressive winner last time over 1400m at this track, scoring by 3 lengths to make it three in a row. Has a strong record at this course, scoring four times from six starts. Right in this. ISKIOS (6) landed his maiden success over this course and distance last time, scoring by 3 lengths. Looks well placed and he is a great chance to go back-to-back. LAZULITE TAKKA (3) got the job done last start at this track over this distance after he was in the firing line on the bend. Has a very good record over today's journey with three wins from six starts. Wataru Hirose has been the pilot at his last two wins. Sure to be competitive. AURORA LUMIERE (8) finished fourth over 1400m at this track when resuming last start, beaten only 1.1 lengths. Fitter so can figure in the finish.
