A keen contest with Scented Jewel and Smart Kingdom leading from Elucidator. SMART KINGDOM (5) returns after a spell of seven months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1230m at this track. Has found the right race and can resume a winner. AL RIHLA (4) just missed last time when a neck away in second at Himeji over 1400m. Should be in the finish again. SCENTED JEWEL (3) did little and finished sixth over 800m at Himeji last start. Can turn things around. HERMIONE (8) last appeared when she won over 820m at this track on October 30. One to consider.
