|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Expecting Nobu Eight to set a strong tempo from the inside along with Alcaraz. ROCK MAJESTY (9) is racing well. Scored at this track two back then finished second, beaten one length, over 2000m at this track at the latest appearance six weeks ago. Should camp just off the leaders. Best form puts him right in this. ALCARAZ (12) is back from a spell. Closed last prep in sparkling form with three consecutive wins, the latest over 1400m at this track on April 9. Soichi Kato has been the pilot at his last three wins. Sure to run well. GLORIOUS HERO (5) doesn't win out of turn but ran a nice race last time out over 1500m at this track, finishing third and beaten 0.6 lengths. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is worth serious consideration. NOBU EIGHT (1) doesn't win out of turn but ran a nice race last time out over 1700m at this track, finishing second and beaten half a length. Suitably placed so anticipating another bold showing.
