IDOCRASE (3) raced on the speed last start over this course and distance and stuck on well to finish second, beaten 2.5 lengths, to make it three minor placings in succession. Perfectly placed to grab a well-deserved win. GRAND SAISON (7) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1800m at this track. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. Expect the winner to come from this duo. Next best is BLANC DE BLANCS (6) who returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 8 lengths into eighth over 1800m at this track. Strips fitter and can do a lot better. MIENO STRONG (1) was in the money first up at Fukushima then could only manage 14th last time out over 1800m at the same track. Likely improver.
