Plenty of pace from Jared, Wing Blue and Katarite vying for the lead, with a few others keeping them honest. KATARITE (2) wasted no time getting off the mark, racing on speed and right away with an effortless win on debut. Drawn perfectly and he is a top chance again. HERITAGE BLOOM (13) accounted for a maiden field over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt last start, finishing 4 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. Drawn out again but can make it back to back wins. MICHAEL BAROWS (11) has been freshened up since he finished fifth over 1600m in the G2 Daily Hai Nisai Stakes at Kyoto five weeks ago. Thrown in the deep end fresh and not disgraced. Much easier here and fitter. Among the leading chances. HO O LUXOR (6) turned in a modest performance when fifth last start over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt, beaten 6 lengths after a good win on debut at Tokyo Dirt. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
