Expecting a strong gallop with Combat Pesca and Grand Opus taking up the running over Saliente. SALIENTE (9) raced just off the lead before letting down nicely and scoring a one length win over this journey at Hanshin last time. In form and will take beating again. GRAND OPUS (1) finished 3 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1600m at Hanshin after being prominent at the turn when fresh from a spell. Steps up in distance today. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Likely to feature. MEISHO PIRKA (3) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 2000m at Hanshin. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. EMBEKKE (4) returns from a spell of three months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when 13th over 1600m at Chukyo. Among the better hopes.
