Fast tempo assured with Merci Courir, Kura Oryu and Ukiyono Messiah going toe-to-toe. M T RAIKA (1) scored an overdue maiden win last time out, getting home by 9 lengths over 1400m at this track. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and he is a key runner. KURA ORYU (5) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. MERCI COURIR (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Strips fitter and can feature. STAR HARU (9) resumes after a break of seven months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 800m at this track. Sure to make her presence felt.
