NAMURA CREPE (8) was a winner two back at this track then was competitive last time when fourth over 1300m at this track, beaten only 2 lengths. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Among the leading chances. SPEED YELLOW (7) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 1600m at this track. Has the ability to take care of this field. DANON FAST (2) has been about the mark of late. Last time out was 0.6 lengths from the winner in third over 1300m at this track. Shinji Hatanaka who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Should be involved in the finish. ROUGE BLASON (5) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at this track over 1300m after being in the firing line on the bend. Won't find this as tough so she is perfectly placed to score.
