Neos Teras and Blau Horizon can be prominent. NEOS TERAS (3) was a gutsy winner last time over 1000m at this track, scoring by 1.75 lengths to make it two wins in a row. Toshiya Yamamoto has been the pilot at his last two wins. Well placed and should be in the finish. BLAU HORIZON (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when fifth in a 1000m contest at this track two weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. COSMO LEMBRANCA (1) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1000m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. LA MIA VITA (2) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fourth over 1000m at this track after being up on the pace until straightening. Best figures measure up nicely. In the mix.
