Danon Anchuras should be able to comfortably find the front. DANON THAMES (9) was safely held when fourth last start over 2000m at Hanshin, beaten 5 lengths. That followed a good first-up win at Hanshin. Fitter and expected to go very well. WIN LUXE (3) wound up strongly only to just miss last start over 2400m at Kyoto. Should be near her peak for this. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is capable of another big performance. TAGANO ALTURA (11) tackled a 2400m race at Hanshin when fresh from a spell last start and finished fourth, beaten 2.25 lengths. Will take a lot from that hitout so he looks sure to run well. RED VARIATO (10) didn't fire over 2400m at Niigata last time out when in the market. That followed a good third the run before. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
