Off the low draw Aufguss should lead at a genuine tempo. ATTREVE FACE (10) was an effortless winner last time over 1200m at this track, scoring by 3 lengths. Has a superb record here at the journey with three wins and a 100% top-three strike rate. A bold showing is likely. FAST LANE (5) was in the market first up but could only manage fourth over 1200m at this track last start. Goes well at this trip, recording four minor placings and is sure to go well. M T WISER (11) pushed forward from a wide draw last start and kept going to win by a head over 1400m at Kawasaki. Yuki Furuoka stays aboard. Sure to be competitive. YAGIRI DREAM (6) turned in a fine effort to score by 2 lengths at this track and distance last start in a far better run. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he can win again.
