Expecting Smart Vivid to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. JU O (11) did a great job to score by 1.5 lengths over this course and distance when resuming from a spell last time out. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. A SHIN HOYUPU (6) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by one length over 1230m at this track. Fitter for that last hitout and looks a big threat to the top selection. MEIYU (3) has returned in good order this campaign. Collected his maiden win first-up at this track then backed it up with a solid third over 1400m at this track at the latest outing. Has a low draw and is one of the better hopes. TAMBA AZUKI (8) raced on the pace last start and lifted strongly to hold third over today's journey at this track. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
