A solid tempo assured with Petrichor setting the tone, joined by Chocolat Pudding and Chant Des Vignes. CHOCOLAT PUDDING (3) is a promising galloper who resumes from a break. Last raced when second over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt three months ago which was the only run of that prep. Has been in the money at both second-up runs. Commendable record at this trip with a win and two minor placings - expected to be in the finish. SCHNELL ANGE (6) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1800m at this track. Has her share of talent. Heading the right way and will be hard to beat. LIEN DU COEUR (14) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt nine weeks ago and has not been produced since. Likely improver with bright prospects again. PETRICHOR (12) did a great job to score by 2.5 lengths over today's course and distance when first-up from a break last time out. Must raise the bar but another win is not out of reach.
