A solid tempo on the cards with Symboli Light heading them off. SYMBOLI LIGHT (6) has not raced since he finished off last campaign with a strong win over 1200m at this track four-and-a-half months ago. Has four wins from four starts at this circuit. Will prove tough to beat. DERMA RUDRA (8) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1200m at this track. Form this track is hard to knock with two wins from six starts. Bold showing expected. KEIAI WHAKAPONO (7) could only manage fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better after being prominent at the turn. Worth noting Tsubasa Sasagawa goes aboard. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. LADY JAN (3) made progress last time out, finishing in third over 1500m at Urawa. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort.
