Solid tempo anticipated with Longing Key taking charge. LONGING KEY (7) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1400m at Urawa. Must raise the bar but another big run will not surprise. LUNAR SOUTH POLE (6) tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1500m at this track. Nicely placed to test this line-up. AIDAKE (8) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when second over 1500m at this track. Nicely placed to find winning ways. SPELL GASSAN (5) scored a barnstorming win last start over 1500m at this track, coming from the tail to get up by a nose. Comes here in the right frame of mind so she looks sure to be competitive.
