Plenty of pace with Shuttle Tosho and Quite Possible up front, pressured by Looks Like You and Maruhiro Knight. QUITE POSSIBLE (7) finished second two runs back at Kawasaki then improved last time out to score by 2 lengths as favourite over 1400m at Kawasaki. Meeting a deeper field this time but she deserves plenty of thought. KING SLAYER (11) is a distance specialist who finished sixth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1200m at this track, beaten only 1.5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Looks well placed so expect another big run. LOOKS LIKE YOU (5) lines up on the back of a 4 length fourth over 1200m at this track as favourite. This sets up nicely. MARUHIRO KNIGHT (2) went forward and gave a great sight when third over 1200m at this track last time out. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the speed. Must be respected.
