Sky No Haru should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. SKY NO HARU (1) is a talented galloper who is unbeaten from two runs, the latest success coming over 1400m at Himeji. Rates highly and hard to knock the winning form. A SHIN CIGGIE (6) got the prize two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1400m there. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. HONKITO KAITE MAJI (2) is a seven-start maiden who has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1500m at Himeji. One of the main contenders. VIP LUKE (5) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 1500m at Himeji. Well placed to figure prominently again.
