Expecting Livre Wonder to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. BRUKO (10) turned in a fine effort to win by a neck at today's course and distance last time out to continue her outstanding recent form. Looks well placed so expect another big run. AZTLAN (8) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 2.5 lengths over 1200m at this track. Yet to miss the frame in three starts over this course and distance. Shinobu Murakami gets the best out of this four-year-old gelding. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. FUKUNO BARTHERANS (11) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1200m after being in the firing line all the way. Expected to go back from the draw. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. LIVRE WONDER (7) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when eighth at this track over 1000m. Has his share of ability and can do a lot better.
