Plenty of speed engaged with Shaman's Cave, Kaito Berg and Angel Star going forward ahead of Pieno D'amore and Taiko Faith. SHAMAN'S CAVE (10) went fast early and went on to score by 6 lengths last time out over 1300m at this track. Should be close to the speed despite the draw. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. TAIKO FAITH (11) ran well despite being friendless in betting last time over 1300m at this track, finishing third and beaten 0.8 lengths at $32.50. Expected to run well again. KAITO BERG (4) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing sixth at Kasamatsu over 1580m. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PIENO D'AMORE (3) was beaten 6 lengths into sixth over 1300m at this track last time out. Better than recent efforts suggest.
