Bogatyr to take charge ahead of Purple Haze at a solid tempo. PURPLE HAZE (1) is returning from a spell of three months. Finished fifth at this track over 1500m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Mafumi Muroi. Well-placed and sure to feature. A SHIN SERAPHIM (6) resumes from a spell of five months after closing off last preparation with four consecutive minor placings. Generally goes well here. Leading contender. BOGATYR (4) returns from a layoff of four months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1500m at this track. Among the better hopes. WIND ARIEL (2) finished third at this track and distance at her last appearance three-and-a-half months ago. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
