A Shin Gaudi should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. HIFUMI BANDAM (2) is in top form with three wins on end, the latest by 1.5 lengths over 1900m at this track four weeks ago. Tatsuya Watanabe has been the pilot at his last three wins. Sure to play a big role. STANLEY (3) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 6 lengths at this track. Boasts 11 wins here. Among the leading chances. MARUKA ATLAS (7) is back from a spell of ten weeks and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1400m at this track. Will be hard to stop. MILAN MILAN (8) was an impressive winner last time over 1580m at this track, leading throughout and putting 5 lengths on his rivals. Ken Takagi who has two wins when partnering stays on. Among the hopes.
