Pace genuine with Sino Witness and I Need A Drink pressing hard closely followed by Shinohara and Vintage Kod. I NEED A DRINK (3) scored at this track last time out with 2 lengths in reserve at the end of 1750m. Has started four times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Looks the one to beat. EXCELMAN (1) doesn't win out of turn but has built nicely into this, charging home strongly into second here 11 days ago. Peaking now and can land the winning blow. SINO WITNESS (4) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1350m after being in contention all the way. Rises sharply in trip and could take some reeling in if left alone. VINTAGE KOD (2) improved out of sight here last time when bettering Excelman. Have to take more seriously now. SUGGESTED PLAY: I Need A Drink to win again.
