Moderate tempo with Last Duel leading the way. LAST DUEL (12) finished fifth at this track over this distance last time out. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring three times from five starts. Seiji Yamazaki who has two wins when partnering stays on. Expecting a bold showing. SHINTO KIZUNA (8) finished fifth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 0.8 lengths after being prominent at the turn over 1400m at this track. Likely to be there at the finish again. BRAVE JOURNEY (11) finished off last campaign with a ninth over 1400m at Saga on January 26 and has since switched yards. Good fresh performer with a win and one minor placings from four runs. Shapes as one to consider. ULTIMATE (5) finished midfield when resuming from a break last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths at a huge quote. Chance on latest effort.
