|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong pace from Dream Fighter and Groovin matching motors with Hanachirusato close at hand. HARMONY ROI (3) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Generally runs well when third-up and can find winning form this time. DREAM FIGHTER (2) scored a narrow win last time over 1400m at this track on July 16. Down in the weights this time so he is expected to measure up again. HANACHIRUSATO (1) went forward last start over 1500m at this track and held on well for second, beaten one length. Drawn to take a nice trail just off the speed. In a suitable race and can figure in the finish. GROOVIN (10) comes here off a break of four months. Scored over 1500m at this track at the start of last prep. Has never tasted defeat when fresh from a spell in two attempts. Among the better hopes.
