COME UP ROSES (1) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 2 lengths, over 2000m at this track after he settled well back. Should be peaking now and is expected to feature in the finish. GO GO TAKASHI (3) did a good job last start to finish second at Tokyo over 1800m, beaten half a length. Hasn't been far away this time in work with three minor placings from six starts. Best form puts him right in this. DOGWOOD (4) finished second last time over 1800m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 2 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. NETTAIYA RAI (5) drew wide and was pretty plain last time out when 4.5 lengths from the winner in seventh at this course and distance. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Don't underestimate.
