Genuine pace with Especially taking up the running ahead of Burgtor and Success Ai. KNOCKNAREA (12) is back from a break of nine weeks. Put together back-to-back wins before going for a spell, the most recent at Chukyo over 1400m. Excels fresh and has won here. Huge chance again. SMART WEISS (8) turned in a fair effort at Hanshin over 1600m at his last run 12 weeks ago, finishing tenth and beaten 2.5 lengths. Best form by far is this circuit. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. GAMMA G T P (9) built on a nice third when fresh from a spell two starts back at Chukyo with a win over 1400m at Hanshin six weeks ago, getting home by a neck. Continues to race well and at peak fitness. BRUT MILLESIME (14) last appeared when he finished fifth over 1400m at Hanshin on February 22. Has to be respected.
