WIN APPROACH (5) returned last time with a solid second at this track over 1600m. Bursting to win and expected to go close. TRANS MARE (12) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 1800m at this track when coming back from a spell. Takeshi Yokoyama has registered two minor placings when on board. Fitter and a likely improver. SERIENKONIGIN (7) finished third, beaten 1.1 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at this track. Ready to go a couple better. STEEL GUITAR RAG (10) hit the line strongly on debut last start to finish fourth, beaten 1.1 lengths over 1800m at this track. Solid top-three hope.
