Genuine tempo from Cosmo Buddleja working across from the outside draw and Vent Frais also pressing on. REIGNING (1) added to his impressive record with a win over 1800m at Tokyo at his last appearance before a break ten weeks ago. The first-up credentials are sound so he looks the one to beat. ESTUPENDA (4) is a talented filly who was well held last time out in a Gr 3 won by Sekitoba East over 1800m at Tokyo, beaten 7 lengths into eighth. Finds a far more suitable race and is sure to be prominent. REGALO DEL CIELO (7) hasn't been far away lately, beaten 1.75 lengths at his most recent outing when fourth over 1800m at Tokyo. Has been knocking on the door and he can make his presence felt. MI ANHELO (6) opened this campaign last start with a third, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1800m at Tokyo. Has a good record at this journey with two wins from six starts. Should perform well.
