RYUNOSU (9) added to a string of wins and placings when he was a strong winner last time at this course and distance. Drifted back on that occasion then quickened impressively to score by 2.5 lengths. Takuya Okamura who has scored on him five times retains the mount. Top chance. EARTH RISER (5) is in top form with two wins on end at this track, the most recent an effortless 4 length victory over 1400m three weeks ago. Has a strong record at this course. Chance again. APSARA (1) ran well despite being friendless in betting when resuming last time over 1400m at this track, finishing fourth and beaten 0.9 lengths. Fitter so could be in the finish again. DERMA AZRAEL (6) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when third at this course and distance. Hard to leave out.
