KUSUDAMA (9) was sent out favourite but could only finish 12th over 1400m at this track last time. Prior to that had been racing well, collecting three minor placings on end. Should park just off the speed despite the draw. Will play a major role. CESA SONG (11) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Has won three on end now, the latest scoring over 1300m at this track. Races well here and expected to run well again. TOSANO SHUJINKO (5) scored by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track last start when fresh from a spell. Form here strong boasting three wins from six starts. One of the leading contenders. BARI GIGGLY (7) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with success as favourite over 1800m at this track four weeks ago, getting home by 2 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
