MAC AN LUIN (3) was well in commission when resuming last start over 1200m at Kyoto when 12th, beaten 5.5 lengths. Clearly a lot more was expected. Fitter and deserves another chance. AND I LOVE HER (6) produced a good effort last start over this distance at this track, scoring by half a length. Has a very good record here including three wins from five starts. Leading contender. LEO THEMIS (10) impressed when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track, beaten just 1.1 lengths. Has a solid second-up record. Watch for a far better performance. AMBIVALENT (12) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished third at Kyoto two starts back then landed the prize by 4 lengths last time out over 1200m at this track. Live chance to make it back-to-back successes.
