A solid tempo is on the cards with Pure Kisho and A Shin Drago pushing for the lead ahead of Needless To Say and Propeller Shaft. A SHIN DRAGO (3) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 2 lengths over 1400m at this track. Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of running a bold race. O K SONIC (1) settled well back at this course and distance last time but did find the line nicely to finish fourth, beaten 6 lengths. Sure to prove tough to stop. HOO YU ITTO (5) showed good early speed and raced on the pace when first-up after a spell last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1400m at this track. One of the main contenders. PURE KISHO (2) proved too strong two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when seventh over 1600m at this track, beaten 13 lengths. Should be thereabouts.
