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

Expecting Amalfi to take up the running with All Steal and M T Peace close at hand. AMALFI (1) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. HAKUAI ASSIST (3) was safely held when eighth last time out over 1750m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. The engagement of Isao Yamaguchi is a positive move. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. ALL STEAL (6) is a distance specialist who got a long way back when fifth in a 1750m contest at this track two weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. M T PEACE (8) turned in a modest performance when fourth last time out over 1400m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Expect a better run this time.
