Hiruno Glasgow to take charge ahead of Orchid Lady at a good tempo. HIRUNO GLASGOW (5) finished just 0.8 lengths away from the winner in second last start at this track over 1600m. Has a very good record over today's journey with six wins from 11 starts. Expecting a bold showing. NEEDLESS TO SAY (2) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish third over 1600m at this track. Placed to advantage and can take this out. HIKARUNO KIMI (3) turned in a modest performance when ninth last time out over 1600m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Enjoys a drop in grade so he is a leading player. ORCHID LADY (7) finished seventh at this track and distance at her last appearance ten weeks ago. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with three minor placings. In the mix.
