Strong pace as Puerta Azul pushes forward along with Crown Arabian from an outside gate. CULMINALE (4) is racing well without winning. Last start finished second, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 2200m at Kyoto. Yet to win at the distance but has recorded two minor placings. Looks ready to win. MONT SAINT KEKOA (16) is going well with two minor placings from three starts this prep. Continued the trend last start when third over 1800m at Kyoto after he was handy all the way. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. CROWN ARABIAN (18) was prominent on straightening and stuck on well to finish second last start over 2000m at Kyoto, beaten 1.3 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot take this out. ZENNO CLEVER (3) finished fifth over 1800m at Kyoto when resuming last start, beaten only 1.75 lengths. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.
