Plenty of pace with Honkito Kaite Maji and Number Theory up front, pressured by Hyper Call and Donald Poker. HONKITO KAITE MAJI (1) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out over 1400m at Sonoda. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Has the class to produce another positive result. CONTI BANQUET (8) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just a neck from the winner in second over 1230m at Sonoda after being in contention on the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. NUMBER THEORY (7) showed good early speed last start on debut and fought on well to hold second, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1400m at Sonoda. Expected to feature with improvement to come. LA POUSSE D'OR (5) was never in contention last time over 1400m at Sonoda when she finished fifth, beaten 4.5 lengths. Finds a suitable assignment this time and can improve.
