KAIAKI D'ANAFER (7) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by half a length over 1300m at Taruma. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and a bold showing is expected. INDIAN VIP (6) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing third last time over 1300m at Taruma. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is capable of a big performance. MARK ROHTKO (5) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and he can get the job done this time. PIXDECEM (2) finished third last time over 1200m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 3 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Likely improver with solid each-way prospects.
