Speed assured from Pod Beau, Genki Ippai and Castle Aile pressing on ahead of Derma Nekodamashi. POD BEAU (9) produced a good effort last start over this trip at this track, scoring by a neck. Has a very good record here including four wins from seven starts. Sure to be there at the business end. THE BIG MAN (6) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1200m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GENKI IPPAI (7) scored two runs back then was well in commission last time but could only manage to finish eighth over the same trip at this track. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. CASTLE AILE (1) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 1200m at this track. Solid top-three hope.
