Expecting Bow Vogue to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. BOW VOGUE (7) improved sharply on his sixth two starts back at Monbetsu with success as favourite over 1400m at Sonoda six weeks ago, getting home by 2.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Has the talent to build on that fine effort last start. IDEAL MATCH (1) recorded a strong maiden win over 1400m at Sonoda last time, getting there by 1.5 lengths. Looks well placed and he is definitely worth including. SIENA MAX (6) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1700m at Sonoda, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner. One of the contenders. SAZAUKI (5) was well beaten in harder company two back then better placed last time and finished in the money when a 11 length third over 1870m. Looks suited here and can sneak into the finish again.
