From their low gates Cut Back and Sulfur should vie for the lead. SULFUR (2) broke through for his maiden win when resuming at this course and distance last time, scoring comfortably. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Handy draw will assist and he is a key runner. CUT BACK (1) saluted last start at this track over this distance after he was in the firing line on the corner. Has a fine winning strike-rate over this journey with seven wins from eight starts. Has a formidable combination with Osamu Shimohara who has been aboard for his last six wins. Big chance. SMILE CLARK (4) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by a neck at this course and distance. Can feature again. HELLO TSCHUSS (3) has been racing consistently and draws well so include.
