Solid tempo anticipated with Blaze Boy leading the way. LUMINOUS FLUX (5) held on well to finish second last time out over 1400m at this track after leading for much of the way. Sure to go well. BLAZE BOY (10) made progress last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1400m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. SHINZEN MARUNOSUKE (8) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing fourth and only 1.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 1300m. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. YUI DINOSAUR (9) failed to figure again last time over 1300m at this track, beaten 3 lengths into fifth. Should camp just off the leaders. Solid claims on best form.
