Idealist to set a strong early tempo joined by Akshardham pushing on from an outside draw. G T PHARAOH (11) was an impressive winner last time over 1500m at this track, stalking the pace before lengthening nicely to score by 4 lengths. Will go forward and should be in the finish again. ISA CHIL COME COME (1) turned in a modest performance when fifth last time out over 2000m at Urawa, beaten 6 lengths. That followed a win at Urawa at the previous outing. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. AKSHARDHAM (13) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 15 lengths when 12th over 1200m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. BLESSED THUNDER (3) turned things around last start and got the job done by 0.8 lengths over 1400m at Urawa. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
