Plenty of pace evident with A Shin Nazareth and Wakagimi leading the way from Mononofuno Michi and Lance Of Comet. A SHIN NAZARETH (8) is racing well. Scored at Sonoda two back then finished third, beaten 1.1 lengths, over 1400m at Sonoda at the latest appearance three weeks ago. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Expecting a bold showing. WAKAGIMI (7) is still a maiden after 17 runs and despite that was well fancied last time but couldn't quite get over the line, finishing a close second over 1400m at Sonoda. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will give a great sight. LANCE OF COMET (6) finished third last time over 1400m at Sonoda when resuming from a spell, beaten 1.75 lengths. Ready to go a couple better. MONONOFUNO MICHI (3) produced a reasonable effort when third last start over 1400m at Sonoda. That followed a win at Sonoda the start prior. One of the main hopes.
