Loads of pressure, primarily from Black Tinker, Belfast and Segantini. BELFAST (5) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings since resuming, the latest coming when third over 1200m at Kokura after being in contention all the way. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. No reason she cannot find winning ways. G T ESPI (13) is back after a break of ten weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1200m at this track. Has ability and should be right in the finish. SEGANTINI (9) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at Kokura, beaten just 1.1 lengths into fourth after being prominent at the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. WINSTON (15) returned from a spell eight weeks ago when he was beaten 3 lengths into fifth over 1200m at Kokura. Can kick on with that run under the belt.
