Jackson Roots, Big Reversal and Imagine Lennon will not hold back as they vie for the lead from Tenku World and Super Azulada. IMAGINE LENNON (7) is a talented galloper who is unbeaten in two runs this time in, the latest at Sonoda over 1400m. This trip suits; expected to go well again. JACKSON ROOTS (1) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second when resuming last start over 1400m at Sonoda. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. CORTADO (5) got the prize two runs ago at Sonoda. Couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1400m at Sonoda, beaten 10 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. KO ACT (9) is fresh from a spell of 17 months and did hit the frame when last resuming at Hakodate over 1200m. In a different yard now.
