Lupus Tesoro and Nishiken Bob will likely pair off in front. NISHIKEN BOB (5) is a 18-time winner who has been at the top of his game of late, scoring by 0.8 lengths last time out over 1700m at this track. Races well here and is a major contender. KEIAI PURPLE (2) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish one length away in second over 2000m at this track. Perfectly placed to play a major role. HOWZIT (1) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was fourth over 1700m at this track. Fitter and sure to run well. BLITZ FANG (4) was safely held when resuming last start over 1700m at this track, finishing seventh. Should do much better with that run under the belt.
