Despite the small field Shonan Nazca, Pomaikai and Suzuka Goketsu will set a genuine tempo. SHONAN NAZCA (4) made it three wins in succession last time out when he scored by 2.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. SUZUKA GOKETSU (3) did a great job to score by a nose over today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Nicely placed to feature in the finish again. PARTY BELL (2) made progress last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1600m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. POMAIKAI (7) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when ninth over 1400m at this track. Is capable when right, holds place claims.
