Solid tempo with Bellagio Dream to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. BELLAGIO DREAM (1) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1700m at Sonoda, getting home by a head. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within his grasp. RAPIDO FIORE (5) missed the frame last start when he got a long way back over 1700m at Sonoda, finishing sixth. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is a major player. IZA GREEN LIGHT (2) closed last prep nine weeks ago when he finished second over 1700m at Sonoda. Solid top-three hope fresh. LAZULITE TAKKA (3) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1700m at Sonoda. Finds a suitable race and can build on solid recent efforts.
