LARVANDAD (2) could only manage fifth on debut then improved last start but found a couple better over 2200m at Hanshin, beaten 2.75 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. CEFALU (5) was close to a win before a break, starting favourite at the latest appearance and finishing third at Hanshin. Expect he has come on over the break. Can launch this campaign in positive style. LLOYD WEBBER (3) is a well bred three-year-old colt on debut. By Epiphaneia from Reach Consensus who has a high percentage of winners-to-runners. Should get all the favours from this good gate and should play a big role. BRUISER (7) progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 2000m at Niigata after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
