WITH PHILIP (8) ran on strongly only to just miss when first-up as favourite last start over 1600m at this track. Sure to derive great benefit from that run. The engagement of Hosokawa Satoshi is a positive move. Placed to advantage and can run another bold race. HIRUNO CARDIFF (6) was out of the money last start over 1600m at this track, finishing fourth. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including two wins. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. AMELITA (4) returned last time and finished fourth at this track over 1400m, beaten 3.5 lengths. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time. BALEO RIA (3) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last time over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with bright prospects.
