Good pace from Frost City, Sanono Blader and Ho O Six going forward. LA ROYALE (10) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 2.5 lengths over 1400m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. LONG LONG LONG (3) knuckled down strongly to get within a neck of the winner in second last start over 1400m at this track. Solid prospects. WONDER GUARNERI (9) travelled in a rearwards position then made a little ground and finished 6 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1400m at this track when first up from a spell. Steps up in journey today. Winning rider F Komaki stays aboard. Fitter and expected to run well. BELLAGIO KENSHIRO (4) could only manage seventh at his last appearance over 1500m at this track on February 4. Finds a suitable assignment this time and can improve.
