Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Ciel Ruby. KITANO VULCAN (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1400m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. GLEAM STAR (5) has switched yards since finishing eighth three-and-a-half weeks ago over 1400m at Sonoda. Rates highly so expect him to be prominent. MARTEE (8) was prominent until they straightened last time but weakened to finish fourth over 1400m at this track. Expected to feature in the finish this time. RENEGADE (3) spotted them a big start last time out and could only manage to finish eighth over 1300m at this track. One of the better hopes.
