IN YOUR PALACE (8) returns from a break of three-and-a-half months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1400m at this track. Goes very well when fresh including two wins. Has placed at Grade 3 level and is certainly good enough to win this. EMPEROR WAKEA (9) is back from a spell of five months. Was narrowly beaten at his only appearance when last in work at Saga over 1400m. Twice a winner at this level and should play a major role. WAYWARD ACT (1) returns from a spell of ten weeks, the latest appearance resulting in a win over 1400m at this track. Takes on a better field this time but has won five from five when fresh which is a compelling stat. OMEGA GUINESS (3) is having his first run since November 15. Goes well when fresh with four wins and three placings from 10 starts. Placed at Grade 2 level so has the talent to play a role.
