Yo Hin and Ursprung will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. URSPRUNG (13) improved last time out, finishing 1.3 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1800m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. YO HIN (11) returned last time with a solid second at this track over 2000m after being in the firing line on the turn. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RUN FOR SMILE (15) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1800m at Kyoto. Among the chances while fresh. HO O TITAN (8) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1600m at Kyoto, finishing sixth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Has upside and worth including.
