Genuine tempo from Du Maverick leading Persuade. SANONO WONDER (9) stepped up in trip to 2100m last time at Tokyo Dirt and ran below his best, finishing 3.5 lengths away in sixth. Better suited at this shorter trip. Placed 2/2 the course and distance. Should prove hard to beat. PERSUADE (1) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by 3.5 lengths over today's journey at this track. Leading player. DU MAVERICK (4) finished fourth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 5 lengths as favourite after being prominent at the corner over 1800m at this track. Meets some better types this time but another big run is on the cards. DURA ETERNO (12) had been racing consistently, finishing in the money two races on end, until finishing fourth as favourite last time out over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Yutaka Take stays aboard. Best figures stack up.
