Meisho Ike, Galvanize and Lord Midnight to take up the running at a decent tempo. LAUDATIO (8) scored by 0.8 lengths last start at this track over 1300m after he was prominent at the bend. Is yet to miss the frame from three starts at this distance, including two wins. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Among the leading chances. ZUGVOGEL (2) continues to race well with a win two back at this track before finishing 0.6 lengths away in third last time over 1300m at this track. Leading contender. MEISHO IKE (5) has strung together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on May 17 over 1400m when he scored by 5 lengths. Winning rider Shinsuke Ishikawa retains the mount. It doesn't get any easier but on current form he is good enough to take this out. GALVANIZE (9) scored two back at this track but was below his best last time when seventh over 1400m at this track. Should be thereabouts in this suitable race.
