CULMINALE (14) comes here off a break of nine weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 2400m at Kyoto. Rates highly and should take some beating. SUZUKA MIERE (10) did a great job to score by a neck over this course and distance when first-up from a spell last start. Tackling a deeper field this time but she is good enough to figure in the finish. DOVER BRIGHT (1) raced on the speed and found plenty to score by 2.5 lengths at this track and distance when first-up from a break last time out. Meets some better types this time but he deserves his place in this field. BOND LOA (8) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 2 lengths, over 2400m at Kyoto. Worth including.
