Strength should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. STRENGTH (8) closed last campaign with four consecutive minor placings and is back today after a break of 11 weeks. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will give a great sight. PEPTIDE TIGER (1) has been thereabouts all prep, last time out finishing second over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt at the third run back. Sound record at this distance with three wins and seven minor placings from 15 runs and is a leading contender. ROUGE STUNNING (4) is back at the races for the first time since May 18. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1400m at this track. Worth plenty of thought. HENRY (9) is a handy type who resumes after a break of ten weeks. Only appeared once last prep when he finished 16th over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten 40 lengths. Has two wins to his name when fresh from a spell. Should park just off the speed. Solid claims on best form.
