They should run this along with Pomme Verte and Trio taking it up over Mind My Words. BRAVE DECISION (2) finished out of the money when seventh over 1400m at Himeji five-and-a-half weeks ago. Has the class to take this out. POMME VERTE (5) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 1.1 lengths away in third over 1400m at this track. Strong prospects. DEAR MY SON (4) got a long way back when 12th over 1750m at this track last start. Well placed and finds a suitable race. TRIO (9) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, finishing fifth. Can turn things around.
