Deserve should lead at a strong tempo. DESERVE (1) is racing well this time in work, including a last start win over 1500m at this track to bring up three wins from five runs in the campaign. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Best figures should see him run well. PRIME BLUE (6) got home by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1200m at this track. Yet to miss the placings from seven starts at this track. Takehiro Kasano who has five wins when partnering stays on. Well placed and should be in the finish. DON'T LET GO (2) has returned in good order this preparation. Opened with a third at this track two starts back then landed the prize by 0.8 lengths last time out over 1200m at this track. Finds a tougher race but another win is not out of the question. ISSHIN FURAN (9) turned in a fine effort to score by 2.5 lengths at this track and distance last start in a far better run. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within her grasp.
