A strong tempo is assured with Crack Of Dawn and B B Basilis leading the charge. MEISHO YONKU (4) was a most impressive winner last time over 1300m at this track, scoring by 3 lengths. Has a good strike rate at this distance with four wins from five runs and is sure to play a big role. ISAAC BAROWS (5) resumes from a spell of four months and is having his first outing under new trainer Shinji Kudo. Finished fifth at Kyoto over 2000m at the opening run last time in work. Solid chance first-up for the new barn. NAMURA IRIS (10) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing seventh starting at $4.60. Finds an easier assignment and can find winning form. PEPTIDE HINATA (9) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing second and beaten only a head over 1300m at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
