Plenty of pace from the outset with A Shin Gaudi and Shadow Strike leading the charge. PADLOCK (15) kept coming but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 1800m at this track. Progressive colt who will get back again but is sure to prove hard to beat. CAMPIDOGLIO (9) is back after a break of five months. At the last run before the lay-off he finished seventh over 2000m at Chukyo. Has ability and is a solid chance. HISHI CULLINAN (10) ran a bold race over this journey last start, racing on the pace and sticking on strongly to finish 5 lengths away in second at this track. Will give backers a sight. LE SERMENT D'AMOUR (5) produced a better run last start at the second run of the campaign, beaten 4.5 lengths into fifth over 1900m at this track. Solid each-way chance.
