Strong tempo likely with several going forward, headed by Mitono O and Skylight. ESKEN DREAM (2) is a nine-time winner who has been at the top of his game of late, scoring by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1600m at this track. Races well here and is likely to run another big race. SKYLIGHT (10) reunites with Koichiro Senoo after scoring with ease over 1600m at this track last time. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Among the leading chances. JASPER BAROWS (7) scored two runs back then was well in commission last time but could only manage to finish fifth over 1400m at this track. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to feature. WIN WURDE (9) is a strong fresh performer back after a break of three months and looking to emulate his win at this track to kick off the last campaign. Sure to make his presence felt.
