SMART SATURN (2) raced on the speed and found plenty to score by a neck at this track and trip when resuming from a layoff last time out. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is good enough to play a major role. MEISHO KAJIKI (9) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at Sonoda two starts back then scored by a neck last time out over 1400m at this track. Hibiki Ishido scored on him last time and retains the mount. Meeting a tougher field but on current form he is good enough to take this out. MEISHO TEN TEN (8) landed his maiden success over this course and distance last time, scoring by 0.8 lengths. Tricky draw to overcome but he should be in the finish again. DERMA VEDA (7) turned things around last start and landed the prize by a neck over 1500m at this track. Well placed to feature in the finish again.
