Solid pace with Inception finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. INCEPTION (4) is going very well with two wins and two placings from the last four attempts. Won two starts back at Mizusawa and went close again last time out, beaten half a length. Has a fine record at this course and distance. Top chance. NEVER LAND (3) improved last time out to score by 5 lengths over this distance at Saga, his third success from his last four outings. Draws well and winning form is hard to knock. MEISHO NIKONIKO (2) ran a better race and finished 0.8 lengths away in fourth last time out. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. O NET LEO (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell but will be fitter this time so may prove harder to beat.
