Genuine pace with Combat Taurus taking up the running ahead of Home Run Batter and Supreme Arrow. HOME RUN BATTER (8) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish third over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with bright prospects. COMBAT TAURUS (7) resumes in a similar race to his last run three-and-a-half months ago when eighth. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. MIYUKI AMORE MIO (2) finished out of the money when fourth over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. In the mix. MEISHO TREK (6) was in the money two starts back but was unable to repeat the effort last time when eighth here over 1600m. Solid top-three hope.
