ONLINE BOSS (4) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish a head away in second over 1200m at this track. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he cannot be underestimated. GYRO (1) scored at this track last time out with half a length to spare over today's journey. Has a good record at this course and distance, including seven wins and two placings. Definite winning hope. MIDNIGHT GALE (6) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by a neck over 1000m at this track. Has three wins here. Should be prominent from the outset. Key runner. LIONTARINA (8) is returning from a spell of four months. Finished ninth at Nagoya over 1500m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Hiroyuki Oguni. Should be primed for a big run.
