|---|---|---|---|---|

Good tempo expected with Fangxin Lady, Z Silvia and Danon Oneup rolling forward. Z SILVIA (8) kept coming but just failed to pick up the winner as favourite last start over 1400m at this track. Should be near her peak for this. The engagement of F Komaki is a positive move. Going well and has strong prospects. SMILE CLARK (6) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1400m at this track, getting home by a neck. Must raise the bar but a big run is on the cards. SNARK DURIAN (4) comes here off a last-start fifth over 1400m at this track. One of the main contenders. HELLO TSCHUSS (12) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten only 0.8 lengths into fourth. Can turn things around.
