Keen battle for the lead with Vis Mentis, Villa Jovis and Lux Ewan in advance of Scrumptious and Majorelle Bleu. MAJORELLE BLEU (11) is a three-start maiden who almost broke the ice last time out when a close second over 2200m at Chukyo. Ideally placed to break the ice. DANON MIDNIGHT (7) is a two-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 2400m at Hanshin. Will take a lot from that hit-out and looks a strong chance to break through. AIR ALCINA (4) made significant late ground last start to get up for third over 2000m at Hanshin. Likely to feature. VILLA JOVIS (10) finished third last time over 2400m at Hanshin, beaten 2 lengths. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race.
