MEISHO MAHIRO (10) continued a hot streak of form, winning over 1800m at this track last start to make it three straight. Comfortable winner last time and expected to be in the finish again. ARTHUR TESORO (9) finished tenth two runs back at Kochi then improved last time out to score by one length as favourite after being prominent at the corner over 1300m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SCEPTRUM (8) was well in commission last start over 1400m at this track when third, beaten 2.75 lengths. Has a strong record here at this journey with three wins from five starts. One to consider. NIRAI KANAI ARROW (11) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing third over 1300m at this track last time out. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Should give backers a sight.
