A strong tempo is assured with Ken Wenzel and Haruka Saku Sora leading the charge. HARUKA SAKU SORA (4) ran well below her best last time over 1400m at this track, finishing fourth when starting at $1.80. Commendable record at this trip with a win and two minor placings and shapes as a key contender. SEUL ET PATRIOTE (3) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on three consecutive occasions, before finishing fourth last time out over 1400m at this track. Great chance to bounce back. IKS CLOVER (8) finished out of the money when fourth in a 1400m contest at this track four weeks ago. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. KEN WENZEL (7) has recorded four minor placings from five runs this preparation. Continued the trend at the most recent appearance when runner-up over 1600m at this track. Can feature again.
