BOND LOA (6) was unwanted in betting last start but performed beyond expectations when beaten half a length into second over 2400m at this track. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Likely to feature. SKY SURVEY (8) went to the paddock after scoring at his only appearance last prep three months ago over 2200m at this track. Should park just off the speed. Best form is fresh and at this circuit. OMEGA NAVIGATOR (2) impressed last time when he scored by a head over today's journey at this track on January 18. Gets some weight relief this time so he should run well. VALIGIA (1) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when 14th over 2200m at Nakayama, beaten 8 lengths. Nicely placed to play a leading role.
