A solid tempo anticipated with Safari and Utamaro ahead of Cuenca and Konig Blut. KONIG BLUT (6) turned in a handy position before finishing second last start over 1300m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Can go one better here. CUENCA (2) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished third here two starts back then scored by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1300m at this track. Masayoshi Yamasaki scored on him last time and retains the ride. Likely to be in the finish again. JUGGERNAUT (4) was thereabouts last time out when sixth over 1300m at this track after he got a long way back in the run. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. One of the better chances. UTAMARO (7) progressed nicely last time out to finish just one length from the winner in second over 1400m at this track. This looks a good race for him and he is one of the key runners.
