Keen exchange with Shu Zeus and Toiro pressing hard while Talisman Chant also kicks up. SHU ZEUS (8) travelled just behind the leader before taking over and scoring a determined win by a neck over 1400m here last time. Sure to measure up again. TOIRO (13) stepped up to the mile for the first time last start at this track and after looking a winning chance halfway down the straight he boxed on for second. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Expecting a bold showing. SAIKAN SANYU (12) broke through for his maiden win over 1400m at this track last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Drawn out a bit but he is definitely worth including. FLOWER KING S (4) resumes after a break of four months. Did win at his only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 1400m at this track. Sound prospects.
