|---|---|---|---|---|
|
A strong gallop is likely with Vola Via and Meiner Zeus taking up the running, closely attended by Win Bolero and Mid Century. MEINER AZZURRO (12) finished fourth last time out as favourite over 2200m at Chukyo, beaten 3 lengths. Has been winding up strongly and looks ready to win. Gets chance. ADMIRAL SHIP (3) turned in an eye-catching run over 1800m at this track last time, ridden back before coming home with a powerful run to finish second. Will drift back but is expected to be in the finish again. ARITHMETIQUE (10) finished third last start over 2000m at Nakayama, beaten 2 lengths. Can improve again. Top chance if at her best. MEINER ZEUS (13) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish seventh, beaten 2 lengths, over 2000m at Kokura. Not far from winner at his last appearance and rates highly.
