Strong early tempo with Ken Bridge Gray driving forward from a wide gate with Flare Of Sense also handy. VIP WOLF (9) made significant late ground last start to get up for second over 2000m at Hanshin. Rock hard fit after three runs back from a break and is expected to be in the finish again. CROSS BORDER (8) has been in the betting recently but has failed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished fourth over 1800m at Hanshin, beaten 3.5 lengths. Capable enough so worth another chance. FLARE OF SENSE (1) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 2000m at Hanshin. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Looks well placed so expect another big run. SCRUMPTIOUS (2) could only manage to finish fifth, beaten 3 lengths, at his latest appearance over 2200m at Hanshin. Should be about the money.
