Meisho Ike and T M Daitaka possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. MEISHO IKE (5) returns after a break of 12 weeks. Has won six on end, the latest over 1400m at this track. Effortless win last time out and should be in the finish again. T M DAITAKA (1) is a last-start winner over 1750m at this track, showing good early speed on the occasion and leading throughout to score by 0.8 lengths. Form here at this journey is very good with three wins from five runs. Expected to be in the finish. FIRST RICKEY (6) is a distance specialist who made progress last time out, finishing 2.75 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1300m at this track. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to figure in the finish. MEINER DOUGLAS (4) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 89 lengths away in 11th over 2000m at this track. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
