A race that lacks early pressure on paper. TAMA ESPOIR (3) has a moderate winning strike-rate but did a good job when returning from a break last time at this track, finishing second and only 2.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 1400m after being in the firing line on the bend. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. SMART MANALIS (4) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing seventh and beaten 5.5 lengths starting at $3.50. The engagement of Katsuto Maruno is noteworthy. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to turn things around. ADMIRING (5) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a third at this track over 1400m. Has a good record here at this journey with three wins and eight minor placings from 14 starts. One to consider. HOKUSEN KING O (2) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1400m at this track, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner. Worth plenty of thought.
