Seinosuke and Oken Duke to bowl along in front. RAFALE D'OR (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 17 lengths when 12th over 2100m at Tokyo Dirt two months ago. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. LILABAD (5) turned in a fine effort to win by 1.5 lengths at this course and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up result. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. CANDELARIA (9) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 2000m at this track 11 weeks ago. A bright return is expected. HAKUSHU (7) raced on the pace before drawing clear to score a one length win over this course and distance last time. Sound record at this distance with five wins and five minor placings from 13 runs and deserves respect.
