SHIGERU MACH (9) is a last-start winner over 1500m at Kawasaki, showing good early speed on the occasion and leading throughout to score by half a length. Will prove very tough to beat. MISS GLORIA (8) drew wide last time and was safely held when fifth over this track and trip. Among the winning hopes. EMERAL APOLLON (5) could only manage fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1200m at this track, beaten only 0.8 lengths after being in contention on the turn. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. HELIAMPHORA (1) was prominent at the corner and finished second last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Should be peaking. In the right race and is worth serious consideration.
