Expecting a solid tempo set up by Greater Virtue crossing from the outside stall. GREATER VIRTUE (12) went forward over 1200m at this track last time and held on for third. Has the pace to overcome the draw. Masatoshi Yamamoto who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Well placed and should be in the finish. LEVE CHI AMIGO (5) put the writing on the wall last start and was beaten just a nose into second over 1400m at this track. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PRISM SPECTRE (3) was far from disgraced when second last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 2 lengths after she did her best work in the closing stages. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Likely improver with strong prospects. HAPPY GLORY (11) was comfortably accounted for when fifth last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 8 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. In the mix.
