Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 25)    

Strong tempo from Chance Encounter, Konnichiwa and Smart Horse. TWILIGHT WARRIOR (1) looks hard to beat again. Unleashed a big finish to score this trip latest and expected to go well. WALOYO YAMONI (3) is a last start winner here over a little further a few weeks ago. Can go on with the job. NOBLE HERO (5) was a winner this trip two back then ran on hard latest for a close-up fourth. In the mix again. KONNICHIWA (2) continues to race in good form. Worth thought after getting close last time.
