MIENO WILD (2) recorded a strong maiden win over 1400m at this track last time, getting there by 2.5 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Drawn well close to the inside and he looks certain to measure up again. MASANO ETERNAL (9) pushed forward from a wide draw last time and sat just off the lead, eventually drawing away to score by 3.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Sure to go well again. ESPIEGLE (11) was an impressive winner last time over 1200m at this track, stalking the pace before lengthening nicely to score by 3 lengths. Expected to feature. PIKAPIKA PIROKO (1) returns from a break of 12 weeks. Was racing in great heart last prep with three consecutive wins before finishing tenth at Kyoto prior to going for the spell. Opened last prep with a minor placing over 900m at Kanazawa. Anticipating a strong return to racing.
