Plenty of pace established by Optics, Carita Feliz and Combat Grande, with Pajama Party close at hand. SHIMASAN BLACK (8) was safely held in better company two runs back then appreciated the easier grade last time, scoring over 1600m at this track. In winning form now and should go well again. OPTICS (7) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1600m at this track. Well placed to make a big impression. CARITA FELIZ (10) finished fourth last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. Among the main hopes. MISHIRO WAY (2) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing sixth at this track over 1600m. Can fill the placings from the inside draw.
