A Shin Licht should spear straight to the front of the small field. DIA GRAF (3) has recorded four minor placings from four starts this preparation, the latest when second as a well-fancied conveyance over 1700m at Sonoda. Continues to impress and gets his chance to break through. WIN RESERVE (2) is coming along nicely this prep. Finished seventh when fresh from a spell two starts back at Sonoda then improved and scored over 1700m there four weeks ago, getting home by a neck. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is good enough to cope. A SHIN LICHT (5) held on well to finish third last time out over 1700m at Sonoda after leading for much of the way. Top-three hope. POD OURS (1) missed the frame last start over 1700m at Sonoda when eighth. A better run is on the cards.
