Without an obvious leader, it may be left to Renegade, Keiai Tea and Pure Collection to control the tempo. GRACE SUNRISE (4) was comfortably accounted for when fifth last start over 1300m here after a good first-up win at this track. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. MOZU GRAND PRIX (7) turned in a fine effort to win by 9 lengths at today's track and distance last start in a much-improved run. Finds another suitable race and can maintain winning form. KEIAI TEA (5) again failed to feature last start, finishing seventh over 1300m at this track. Has enough ability to be competitive in this line-up. RENEGADE (12) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on two consecutive occasions, before finishing sixth last time out over 1300m at this track. Can feature.
