Solid tempo likely from Sammaru Ship and Shigeru Mach. SAMMARU SHIP (3) resumes in a similar race to his last run four-and-a-half months ago when he scored by 4 lengths. Has a very strong record at this course, scoring at eight of 10 starts. Sure to make his presence felt. SHIGERU MACH (2) chasing a hat-trick. Pushed forward and went on to record a determined win last start by 3 lengths over 1200m at this track. Rates highly and should run well again. BELLWOOD ONE (7) raced on the speed and lifted to score by 0.8 lengths at this track and trip last start. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. JACK MEMORIAM (8) hasn't been far away lately, beaten 1.5 lengths at her most recent appearance when second over 1200m at this track. Seiji Yamazaki who has scored on her three times retains the mount. In the mix.
