Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Matsurida Masurao. NOBLE RUN (8) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing second over 1300m at this track last time out. Has been in the money three times over this course and distance. A bold showing is likely. CINDERELLA SMILE (2) was thereabouts last time out when third over 1300m at this track after she was up on the pace all the way. Yet to miss the frame over this longer journey. Among the leading chances. LUX CHERRY (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 13 lengths when sixth in a 1600m contest at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. MATSURIDA MASURAO (5) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when eighth over 1400m at this track, beaten 12 lengths. Nicely placed to play a leading role.
