Deserve to take charge ahead of Sapporo Kitako at a strong tempo. DESERVE (3) was in a different class last time, registering a dominant 4 lengths win over 1200m at this track to make it two in a row. Masashige Honda has been the pilot at his last two wins. Should be hard to stop. TWILIGHT WAY (7) resumed over 1200m at this track last start and was too good for his rivals, scoring by 1.5 lengths. Will be better for that latest run and this looks well within his grasp. SAPPORO KITAKO (4) finished 11th over 1200m at this track last time out following a determined win two back. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Will give backers a great sight. NITRO (10) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1200m at this track, beaten only a neck. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
