Expecting Haseno Express to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. STRIKE ON (8) has scored at his last three starts, most recently by 0.8 lengths over 1200m at Ohi as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with three wins from three runs. Top chance again. SEIDELBAST (7) resumes today after closing off last preparation with three consecutive wins, the latest over 1200m at this track on November 29. Yet to miss the placings here at this trip, including five wins. Sure to run well. EL ROI (4) finished 6 lengths adrift in sixth last time at this track in a disappointing performance. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is capable of running a bold race. BEJART (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1700m at this track, beaten 16 lengths. Strips fitter and can turn things around.
