Strong tempo with Birbante and Cosmo Cavalier leading from Daisy and Peplos. DANON FUNSTAR (6) opened this campaign last start with a second, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1800m at Tokyo. Promising type with a big finish and will be tough to stop. KISHIDANCHO (10) pushed forward from a wide draw when first-up from a break last time out and found the front, holding the lead for most of the way and sticking on well to finish third over 1800m at this track. Should go well. KAZANLAK (11) is back from a break of 12 weeks. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when sixth over 1600m at Tokyo. Definite top-three chance. DAISY (12) is back from a break of four-and-a-half months. Raced below par at her only appearance last prep when 12th over 1800m at Fukushima. Should park just off the speed despite the draw. Can feature in the finish.
