Initiate is expected to burn across and lead from the wide draw. FLUORITE (9) was well fancied last start over 1200m at this track when fifth, beaten 5.5 lengths. Back slightly in grade today is a big tick and her win two starts back rates highly. Strong winning chance. INITIATE (11) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1200m at this track. Likely to press forward from wide out. Looks well placed so expect another big run. BON CHANCE (6) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by one length over 1200m at this track. Shaping up nicely and he is worth including. EDONO JET (2) is a seven-start maiden who finished fourth when resuming from a spell last start over 1500m at Urawa. Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come.
