Enry Prince and Grateful Pain will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. G T PHARAOH (9) continued a hot streak of form, winning over 1600m at this track last start to make it three straight. Had plenty on his rivals last time and will go well again. MCMURDO (8) finds it hard to win with just one success from 10 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1600m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Nicely placed to figure in the outcome. ENRY PRINCE (6) finished second over 1500m at this track two back then missed the frame last time out over 1500m at this track. Sits handy in the run. Solid top-three chance. GRATEFUL PAIN (7) was last at the races when she finished sixth over 1600m at Ohi on September 5. Now under the care of new trainer Takeshi Hasegawa. Definite top-three chance.
