Arde Yano should find the front with Mikki Strike and Scandinavia on his heels. MIKKI STRIKE (10) has been a regular in the winners' stall of late including last start in dominant fashion over 1600m at this track. Meets some better types this time but another win is not out of the question. ARDE YANO (3) was far from disgraced when second last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths after a win here the start prior. Yet to miss the frame in three starts over this course and distance. Capable of running a bold race. SEIUN GALLEON (4) proved too strong last start and scored by a neck over 1300m at this track. Yet to miss the placings from four starts at this circuit. Minoru Miyagawa stays on. Key runner. SCANDINAVIA (5) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 7 lengths at this track over 1400m. Has a formidable combination with Eita Inoue who has been aboard for her last four wins. One of the better hopes.
