Curren Tulsi should spear straight to the front of the small field. MY VALENTINE (1) is a progressive three-year-old colt who resumes from a break of nine weeks, his last appearance being a win over 2200m at Hanshin at his only run of that campaign. Has won when fresh from a spell in the past. Expect a bold showing. CARINO (5) ran a bold race over this journey last start, racing on the pace and sticking on strongly to finish 5 lengths away in third at Hanshin. Overdue and gets chance. CURREN TULSI (3) went fast early and went on to score by 2 lengths when resuming last time out over 1800m at Kokura. Must raise the bar but he has the talent to test this line-up. SATONO IVORY (2) bounced back last start and scored by 0.8 lengths over 2000m at Kokura. Solid top-three prospects.
