NOBRE REINO (9) improved sharply on her fourth two starts back at Taruma with success over 1300m at Taruma five-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by well over 3 lengths. She steps up a level, but she has the scope to go on with the job. EL CIELO ZIP (10) is returning from a brief spell and has a first look at a turf track. Opened last campaign with a second at Cristal over 700m. Has good early speed, so he should take up a forward position. Each way value. METALLO (3) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1300m at this track. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Capable of testing this field. LIEUTENANT DODGE (11) lines up on the back of a solid fourth over 1000m at this track as favourite. This sets up nicely, so include him in all top 4 combos.
