INTHANON (4) returns after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 2400m at this track after an excellent effort at Nakayama on debut the run prior. Looks the one to beat. GONFALONIERE (2) is raising his ratings at each appearance. Managed to find the placings at Nakayama two starts back when resuming before finishing hard to get up for a close fourth over 2000m at this track last start. Cannot be left out of calculations. FENDRE L'AIR (11) is building towards his maiden success, the latest effort a solid fourth over 2400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. CRYSTAL DRESS (6) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 2400m at this track, beaten one length. Ready to go one better.
