|---|---|---|---|---|

Moderate pace with Saratoga Chips rolling to the lead and setting the tempo. PIC DES MOUCHES (8) resumes in a similar race to his last run ten weeks ago when second, beaten 1.5 lengths. Has a solid first-up record of two wins and two placings from five runs. Rates highly and looks to have a big edge on this line-up. REVE DE L'OPERA (9) returns from a spell of four months and did win first-up last time in work over 2200m at Niigata. Has the best credentials of the challengers to the favourite. SARATOGA CHIPS (5) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at Kokura over 2600m last time, finishing sixth and beaten 10 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Likely improver with each-way prospects. CAELUM (12) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Kokura, finishing fourth and only 2.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 2600m. Can fill a top-three spot.
