Strong pace from Waganse and Navy Star matching motors with Ratri Sawat close at hand. PLASMA (3) found the line nicely to grab second last time out over 1600m at this track. Sure to feature again. NAVY STAR (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt, beaten 13 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Will enjoy a drop in class so he can play a big role. STAR OF FAITH (6) finished third two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by a neck over 1600m at this track. Likely to be in the finish again. RATRI SAWAT (5) turned in a modest performance when tenth last time out over 1500m at Kawasaki, beaten 7 lengths, after a win at Kawasaki at the previous outing. One of the main hopes.
