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

A strong gallop is likely with Noble Festa and Setono Diamond taking up the running, closely attended by A Shin Kiribati and Frost City. NOBLE FESTA (1) doesn't win out of turn but was in the finish last time when beaten narrowly into third over 1400m at this track. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will play a major role. A SHIN KIRIBATI (4) resumes after a break of three-and-a-half months. Did win at his only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 1400m at Himeji. Solid chance. SETONO DIAMOND (2) produced a good run two starts back to finish third but failed to live up to market expectations last time when out of the placings at this track over the same trip. Nicely placed to bounce back. EPIC DAY (5) has been in the placings her past two starts, finishing third over this track and trip last time out. Hard to fault of late.
