Strong pace expected with Supercycle and Toa Rhodanthe pushing up from their low draws. SUPERCYCLE (3) met with solid support when resuming last start when second, beaten 2.5 lengths. That was his first defeat in eight tries at this track and trip. Fitter so can atone. MEGU (7) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by 3 lengths. That added to a solid record at this course and distance, including three wins and two placings. Rates highly and can measure up. TAKAICHI NADAL (6) returns from a spell of three months and is having her first run for a new yard. Put together a string of top-two finishes last time in work. Among the chances. STAR HUSTLE (11) is returning from a spell of ten months. Now with a new trainer Morio Kawamura. Keep safe.
