CONJUNCTION (4) was prominent at the bend and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. EPOEPOSAN (10) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1700m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Nicely placed to take this out. OBEDIENT (2) failed to figure again last time over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into sixth. Well placed in this line-up and is among the better chances. NAMURA DANNY (1) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing third and beaten only 1.1 lengths over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
