Plenty of pressure primarily from Nangoku Candle, Chesuto Ike and Kashino Flex. LILY BENNETT (8) led throughout last start to score an effortless 2.5 lengths win over 1400m at this track. Winning rider Naohito Tanaka sticks. Likely to feature. ERABU ROLAND (4) did a great job to score by 1.5 lengths over today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Going up a level this time but he can get the job done. KASHINO HANZO (9) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when 11th over 1400m at this track, beaten 23 lengths. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is a leading player. ASH ARE (3) finished fourth last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Has a good record at this journey with two wins from 10 starts. One of the main contenders.
