|---|---|---|---|---|

The pace looks strong from the outset. MEISHO KOTODAMA (7) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 1.75 lengths over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. HENNY'S NEPHEW (10) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 14 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 1400m at this track, beaten 0.6 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Makes plenty of appeal. PROSPECT (8) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at this track four months ago. Has the speed to overcome the draw. Sure to be competitive. PINNACLE POINT (4) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only one length from the winner at the end of 1400m. Sure to be in the mix.
