Expecting Crisp Of War to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. TOKUSHI KAGUYAHIME (8) is a 20-start maiden who filled a minor placing at this track at the last run before spelling. Expect she has come on over the break. Well placed and happy to have her on top. TSUKUBA APPLAUSE (10) returned last time with a solid second at this track over 1200m after being prominent at the corner. Must raise the bar but she has the talent to test this line-up. CRISP OF WAR (9) strode forward early from his wide draw last start over 1200m at this track only to fade late and finish fourth. Among the chances. ISLA DEL NORTE (6) is finding the breakthrough elusive, finishing in tenth at his latest appearance over 1200m at this track. Takehiro Kasano stays on and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Not to be discounted.
