BERSA (9) has returned in excellent order, placing at both runs this campaign and only being run down late when third to Dandenong at Hanshin. She brings the strongest recent profile and is well placed to peak third-up. GLORIOUS MARCH (2) answered a plain second-up run with a sharp Sapporo third behind Rule The Wave, closing off to be beaten just over a length, and his overall place consistency keeps him right in the contest. MOONLIT ISLE (14) is reliable at this trip and beat Nishino Tribute home at Hanshin, though she still has to turn consistent placings into another win. ARLINGTON ROW (12) has been fourth at his past two, including a long-neck defeat at Chukyo, and his turf record gives him a genuine chance if he finds a touch more late.
