A solid tempo on the cards with Reward Merlin heading them off. DANON PEDRO (7) has been safely held at his last couple of runs, the latest when 14th over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Likely to feature back at this level. DEAR THEORY (10) has put together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on June 28 over 1400m when he got home by 4 lengths. Winning rider Eita Inoue retains the mount. Ideally placed and could prove tough to beat. LA GRACE DU CIEL (3) turned in a fine effort to score by half a length at this track and distance last start in a far better run. Tackling a deeper field this time but she is capable of another big run. HIMAWARIKUN (1) turned in a fine effort to win by one length at this track and distance last start which was an improvement on the first-up effort. Key runner.
