LORD GALLERIA (7) is a genuine type with three minor placings from four starts this time in work. Turned in another good effort at his most recent run when third over 2400m at Kyoto. The engagement of Atsuya Nishimura is a big tick. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. L'OTTOBRATA (4) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out over 2600m at Kokura. Has the talent to take this out. SAY CUTE (6) finished sixth over 2400m at Kyoto at her most recent appearance on November 23. Among the better hopes. FIRM TWENTY (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 2400m at Kyoto, beaten 3 lengths. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
