With no recognised leader engaged it might be left to Meiner Pointer, Kikuno Ardent and Rosa Blu to control the tempo. HERMANITO (10) has not appeared since he won over 1230m at Sonoda on October 4. Expect he is primed for a big first-up performance. BLU CLASSICO (5) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 1400m at Sonoda four months ago. Settles back early but winds up late. Could prove hard to hold out. KIKUNO ARDENT (11) finished out of the money when fifth over 1400m at Sonoda two weeks ago. Yet to miss the placings from four starts at this track. In the mix. COEUR BRILLER (1) last start finished fourth at Sonoda over 1400m. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.
