Strong tempo expected from Stellar Splendour, Sage Green and Modigliani. ROSTICCERE (4) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 2.5 lengths over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt after being in the firing line on the corner. Top chance in a modest affair. BELLE HISTOIRE (2) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1800m at this track. Sure to run well. STELLAR SPLENDOUR (1) missed the placings first up recently but was not too far from the winner when fourth over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed and is one to consider with the run under the belt. SAGE GREEN (6) improved last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. Best efforts measure up so capable of another big run.
