A race of few chances. COSMO FIRENZE (6) is back after a break of three months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at his latest appearance over 2200m at Kyoto. Looks the one to beat. PREZ BHEAN (10) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 2000m at Kyoto. Commenced last prep with a good third at this track over 2200m. Rates highly and is a strong chance to break through. RED BRIGHTON (2) raced on the speed last time but couldn't finish the race off and clocked-in fifth over 1800m at Hanshin. Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. FINGER LAKES (12) returns after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a tenth over 1800m at Hanshin. Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix.
