Pearl Front should find the front with Meisho Mahiro and Mole Poblano on her heels. MOZU K STAR (8) was an eye-catcher last time out when second at this track over 1400m, beaten 0.8 lengths. Form has been rock solid of late with four placings from the last four appearances. Should be hard to stop. TAGANO TETSU (16) progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous few appearances. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. MOLE POBLANO (11) resumes from a spell of seven months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1400m at this track. Rates highly and is a chance to break through. QUEEN'S MERENGUE (12) finished third last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race.
