Brown Banana is likely to roll to the lead and set a decent tempo. ARROW METAL (5) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 2000m at this track three-and-a-half months ago and has not been produced since. Will come on following that run and looks tough to hold out again. SKY SPLENDOR (6) debuted with a win two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when fourth over 2000m at Kyoto, beaten 2 lengths after he did his best work late. Goes up a rung or two but he is worth serious consideration. DANON CEFIRO (7) is back from a spell of four months. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 1800m contest at this track by one length. Picked up strongly to score maiden win at only run last campaign. Has upside and looks a strong chance. BROWN BANANA (2) has not raced since he scored on debut over 1800m at this track on October 19. Can only be improved. One of the contenders.
