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

Plenty of pace from Meisho Ike, Meiner Warrior and T M Daitaka vying for the lead, with a few others keeping them honest. MEISHO IKE (8) had been flying with seven consecutive wins before being sent out favourite last time and finishing third over 1400m at this track. Rates highly and can atone. SPIRIT WORLD (7) was well fancied last start over 1300m at this track when third, beaten 2.25 lengths, adding to a string of wins and placings. Form here at this trip reads four wins from six starts. Sure to run well. T M DAITAKA (6) ran below expectations last time at this track over 1400m, finishing fourth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Has won three races at this course and distance from seven tries. Should be competitive. MEINER WARRIOR (3) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
