KREISLERIANA (1) is a promising galloper who resumes from a break. Last raced when third over 1600m at Nakayama 11 weeks ago which was the only run of that prep. Has never been out of the placings first-up from seven tries. Clear top pick. DAGGER RING (2) showed good early speed last start over today's journey at Kyoto before finishing second, beaten 0.8 lengths. Going well this prep and should play a key role. G T MAN (11) finished out of the money two starts back then he made late ground without threatening, beaten 3.5 lengths, when fourth in a 1600m contest at this track two weeks ago. Well backed at all three runs this prep so might have more to offer. MIKKI SOLDIER (10) resumes after a break of six-and-a-half months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 1600m at Niigata. Top-three claims.
