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

A hot tempo is expected with plenty of speed engaged. QUETZAL AZUL (3) landed his maiden success over this course and distance last time, scoring by 8 lengths. Winning rider Yuki Miyauchi stays aboard and he is a leading contender. REVUELTO DIO (4) found one marginally better last start over 1000m at this track after being prominent throughout. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. DRIVE ME HOME (5) is a last-start winner three-and-a-half weeks ago, scoring by half a length over 1200m at this track. Right in the contest. OCTON HATCHI (10) comes here following a win over 1100m at this track seven-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 1.5 lengths. Ticks all the right boxes.
