Expecting Diamond Rain and Aqua Vernal to press forward and set the tempo. AQUA VERNAL (9) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 2400m at this track. No reason she cannot salute now that she has struck form again. BETTLES (3) returns after a spell of four months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 2200m at Chukyo. Has found a suitable race to hit the ground running. TIMUR (1) did well last time to finish second over 2000m at this track, coming from midfield on the corner. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Among the winning hopes. DIAMOND RAIN (8) showed good early dash at the first run after a spell last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 3 lengths away in third over 2400m at Kyoto. Fitter and worth including.
