|---|---|---|---|---|

Several of these have good gate speed so a strong tempo is expected. EXSPERION (7) was fresh from a four months break last start and scored by 8 lengths at this track. Has started four times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Sota Hijikata who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Expecting a bold showing. SMART SATURN (5) finished seventh two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1230m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. SMALT (8) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when fourth over 1230m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. MODEL CHAN (3) finished second at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 1400m at this track, finishing 21 lengths back in ninth. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
