There should be a bit of pressure with Tough Call and Egon Urrea pressing forward in advance of Peach Peach and Captain Duke. TOUGH CALL (2) is back from a spell of 11 weeks. Raced once last campaign and finished second over 1500m at Kawasaki. Should park just off the speed. Will play a major role. EGON URREA (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 10 lengths when sixth over 1500m at Funabashi three weeks ago after being in contention on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. PEACH PEACH (8) finished fourth last start over 1500m at this track after racing on the pace for much of the way. Solid top-three claims. CAPTAIN DUKE (1) returned from a spell three-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 10 lengths into eighth over 800m at this track. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
