Looks to be plenty of pace with Rocket Home Run and Peach Blossom battling for the lead. KOTATSUDE MIKAN (6) sat on the pace and stuck on well to score by one length at today's track and trip last time out to build on a solid first-up result. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the key runners. HISAMA WIN (8) has two wins and one placing from six races this campaign. Found one better last start at this track over 1200m after racing in the leading division. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he deserves his chance. SHADOW DUCHESS (10) finished eighth at this track and distance at her last appearance five months ago. Among the better hopes. REISHIN (1) was below his best last time when seventh over 1200m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
