YUZUNOKI (10) turned in a better effort to finish second last start, beaten a neck over 1400m at this track. Strong run last time and expected to be competitive over the longer journey. SCARS (8) bounced back last start and landed the prize by 1.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner as favourite over 1700m at this track. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the key runners. SAMMARU LEGEND (12) was in contention on the corner and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1500m at this track, beaten 1.1 lengths. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he cannot be ruled out. JALDABAOTH (4) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with success over 1500m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by 1.5 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
