From wide out Aussenseiter can slide over and set up a genuine tempo. AUSSENSEITER (11) led throughout last start to score an effortless 5 lengths win over 800m at Himeji. Will prove very tough to beat. SEI BROCKEN (8) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by a neck over 800m at Himeji. Steps up a level but he is worth serious consideration. MOSHO (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Himeji, beaten 15 lengths into fifth after being prominent at the turn. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. DIANA ZELOS (12) lifted strongly to score two runs back then was prominent in the run last time before finishing seventh over 800m at Himeji. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Deserves respect on best figures.
