There should be a bit of pressure with Return Ace and A Shin Graal pressing forward in advance of Eclair Brillant and Kashino Freude. MARTEE (9) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1400m at this track after being in contention on the corner. Nicely placed to find winning ways. ECLAIR BRILLANT (1) finished sixth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by a neck after being in contention on the corner over 1400m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. RETURN ACE (7) resumes in a similar race to his last run five-and-a-half months ago when sixth, beaten 14 lengths. Definite top-three chance. KASHINO FREUDE (6) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when sixth over 1400m at this track, beaten 11 lengths. In the mix.
