Resplendor to take charge ahead of Pellestrina at a solid tempo. EPOEPOSAN (1) has really found form lately, easily winning again last start over 1400m at this track. Rates well and looks tough to beat again. HERZ AS (2) has switched yards since finishing 16th three-and-a-half weeks ago over 2400m at Tokyo. Expecting a bright start for the new mentor. PELLESTRINA (6) pushed forward and was a determined winner by half a length over 1400m at this track last time out. Capable of testing this field. KURINO ENISHI (4) was disappointing over 1400m at this track last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects.
