Viva Acapulco to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. SEITENTAISEI (4) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when second over 1200m at this track, beaten 3 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. FORCE CHILDREN (9) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when second over 1500m at Urawa when he was prominent throughout. Going up a level this time but he can win if at his best. RAINBOW POLARIS (8) finished fourth last start, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 1200m at this track. Form over this journey is strong, boasting two wins from three starts. One of the contenders. THINKING CARROL (1) finished second last start over 900m at Kawasaki, beaten a neck. Will be rock-hard fit. Capable of another strong performance.
