Moderate tempo headed by Best Decision. MEISHO SHIROGANE (6) had been in top form, scoring three consecutive wins before being sent out favourite last time and finishing fourth over 1400m at this track. Record here is impressive and can bounce straight back. MEISHO YONKU (3) ran well below his best last time over 1400m here when fifth at $4.70. Hideya Sahara is back on and has a solid record on the four-year-old, including six wins. Well placed and should be in the finish. GRAY STORM (7) was a gutsy winner two back then ran sixth over 1600m at this track on February 3. One of the leading hopes on best. BEST DECISION (9) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when tenth over 1400m at this track. Solid claims on best form.
