Hakusan Selene to set a strong tempo joined by Maru Mori Sparkle pressing on from an outside draw. RAINBOW POLARIS (3) has not appeared since he won over 1200m at this track on August 28. Capable of playing a major role fresh. HAKUSAN SELENE (5) showed the way from barrier rise to score by 1.5 lengths last start over this course and distance. Should measure up again. SUZUNO LINE (9) started at $3.50 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth at this track over 1000m. Huge chance on best efforts. Worth another try. PRESTO GAUDI (12) returns after a spell of 11 weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1000m at this track. Can make his presence felt.
