|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong tempo assured from The Rain Song and Bernard Handsome leading the charge. BERNARD HANDSOME (2) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1400m at this track four-and-a-half months ago and has not appeared since. Promising type who can measure up again. DREAM MIYAGI (8) travelled just behind the leader before taking over and scoring a determined win by 1.3 lengths over 1400m here last time. Looks the testing material again. PARME CIEL (7) finished 13 lengths away in eighth last time out over 1400m at this track three weeks ago as $1.7 favourite. Steps up in distance today. Winning rider Sho Yoshii sticks. One of the contenders. N K SAIBO (11) finished 8 lengths away in sixth after being prominent at the bend at his last appearance over 1600m at this track on March 26. Appeals as a top-four contender.
