Pace strong as Forgiveness and Esme Luna charge forward to join Kitano Sublime who kicks up on the inside. SEIEI SCOPE (4) ran well to score by 1.5 lengths at today's course and journey as the favourite last time out. Has been in sound form with a win and a placing from three starts this preparation. Should be hard to top. FORGIVENESS (7) has been in sound form with a win and two placings from six starts this campaign. Has a winning profile. ESME LUNA (2) missed the frame when resuming over 1400m at this track but wasn't far from the winner. Should be camped just off the leaders and looks one of the likely contenders. KITANO SUBLIME (1) showed early speed from a good draw last time and led until late, holding fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths over 1500m at Funabashi. Rates an each way chance here from barrier 1.
