Solid pace with Ric Main finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. HAGINO KA NOA (2) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 2 lengths over 1400m at Himeji. Looks well placed and he is a leading contender. MEINER THRACIA (8) showed good pace over 1800m at Himeji last time and dug deep to score by 2.5 lengths. Meets some better types this time but he has the talent to test this line-up. ROMIHI (4) made progress last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1500m at Himeji. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RIC MAIN (6) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Himeji, finishing fourth and only 1.75 lengths from the winner at the end of 1400m. Best figures measure up. Set to run well again.
