Plenty of speed with Meisho Ike, All Steal and Burgeon Forth leading A Shin Sturm and Amalfi. MEISHO IKE (10) turned in a fine effort to win by 1.5 lengths at today's course and distance when resuming from a layoff last time out. Finds another suitable race and can do it again. ALL STEAL (12) is a distance specialist who is poised to win after placing at his last three outings, most recently when third over 1400m at this track when he was always up in the leading division. The engagement of Manato Hida is a positive move. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. A SHIN STURM (1) was in contention on the turn and finished second last time over 1400m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. AMALFI (6) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when sixth and beaten 12 lengths over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
