|---|---|---|---|---|

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Public Sphere. GRACE CARILLON (11) last raced when successful by a neck over 1400m at this track five months ago. Should be hard to stop. PUBLIC SPHERE (2) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 6 lengths over 1500m at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with five wins and five minor placings from 14 starts. Top chance again. SUN THREAD (3) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 1400m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. GO DANCING (7) was beaten 7 lengths into eighth over 1400m at Kawasaki last time out. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
