Looks to be plenty of pace with Indie Film and My Boy battling for the lead. RYORAN KNIGHT (5) is going well this time in work, including a last start win over 1400m at Mizusawa to bring up two wins from four runs in the campaign. Hidetoshi Abe has been the pilot at his last two wins. Sure to play a big role. INDIE FILM (3) raced on the speed and kept going to score by 4 lengths last time out over 1400m at Mizusawa. Steps up a level but she is capable of running a bold race. MY BOY (6) was an impressive winner last time over 1400m at Mizusawa, stalking the pace before lengthening nicely to score by 3 lengths. Has a strong association with Reika Sekimoto who has been in the saddle for his last two wins. One of the main contenders. ORIENTAL MAC (2) has filled a minor placing at his last four outings, most recently when second over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can feature in the finish.
