A solid tempo on the cards with Isshin leading the way. MONONOFUNO MICHI (1) progressed nicely last time out to score by 2.5 lengths as favourite over 1230m at this track. Wataru Hirose scored on him last time and retains the ride. Must raise the bar but another win is not out of the question. INJECTION (8) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by a neck over today's journey at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance. Leading player. REBECCA RAINBOW (10) improved last time out to score by 3.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Sakito Yamamoto scored on her last time and retains the ride. Stepping up a level this time but on current form she is one of the key runners. WISPY SNOW (2) strode forward early from her wide draw to settle just off the lead last start then lifted to score by 1.5 lengths at this track over 1400m. In form and worth including.
