Expecting Mephisto to lead Risky Whisky at just a moderate tempo. MEPHISTO (5) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish second over 1230m at Sonoda. Should be poised just off the lead. Leading contender. MEISHO FIGARO (4) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at Sonoda over 1400m on October 1. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. STELLA MARINA (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at Sonoda. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. FLAME FORCE (6) made progress last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at Sonoda. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
