Plenty of pace from Kuss Kuss, Ho O Trump and Olibanum vying for the lead, with a few others keeping them honest. FAIRYLIKE (2) lines up on the back of a one length fourth over 1800m at Hanshin where she came from last on the turn in an eye-catching effort. Back in trip but she has the right credentials to win a race of this calibre. HO O TRUMP (1) jumped from wide out and missed the placings last time when fifth at Hanshin. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Sure to be in the finish. OLIBANUM (5) returns from a spell. Finished seventh at this track and distance at her only appearance last prep three-and-a-half months ago. Should be prominent from the outset and is one of the main contenders. LICANTROPO (11) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1600m at Hanshin, clocking in just 0.9 lengths from the winner. Has sound form here including a win and two minor placings. Definite claims.
