Pace genuine with Ignite You and Letter From Paris pressing hard closely followed by Windhose and Derma Ammit. LETTER FROM PARIS (8) pushed forward from a wide draw last time and sat just off the lead, eventually drawing away to score by half a length over 1200m at this track. Sure to measure up again. GRAFFITI WAR (4) last appeared three weeks ago over 1200m at this track when he finished second. This is his first run for the Nobuhiro Yamada stable. Has ability and should be right in the finish. WINDHOSE (6) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 1.5 lengths over 1200m at this track. Yet to miss the frame in 15 starts over this course and distance. Should camp just off the leaders. Should be involved in the finish. IGNITE YOU (9) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 1.5 lengths away in second over 1200m at this track. Has ability and a bold showing is expected.
