FERRUGINOUS (10) is back after a break of 12 weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished fourth over 1600m at this track. Commenced last prep with a minor placing here at the mile. Ready for a bold run. RIN (16) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 2.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1600m at Kyoto after being prominent at the corner. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BRANCH OUT (8) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 2.5 lengths away in third over 1600m at Kyoto when he was handy all the way. Strong prospects. LA LA DIABLE (5) is back after a break of five months. At the last run before the lay-off he finished fourth over 1400m at Kyoto. Can kick off with a bold showing.
