CHAMPION RIBBON (6) showed good speed to stalk the pace before drawing clear to score by half a length over 1400m here last time out. Masayoshi Yamasaki stays aboard. Leading contender. CITY OF LONDON (9) finished sixth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths after being in contention on the bend over 1400m at this track. Likely to be there at the finish again. MEISHO INUWASHI (2) was comfortably accounted for when third last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. NAVARONE (8) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths into seventh. Nicely placed to find some form.
