Decent sized field but it lacks any obvious pace. STRADA REALE (11) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by a neck over today's journey at this track. Has started three times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Expected to measure up. TAKAMINOGAKOI (2) doesn't win out of turn but ran a nice race last time out over 1800m at this track, finishing third and beaten 2.25 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. CHARPENTIER (9) was prominent at the corner and finished third last time over 1500m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 3.5 lengths. In the right race and is one of the big hopes. EIFER SHADOW (13) finished fifth last time out over 1600m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Capable and has to be respected.
