KITASAN UNISON (1) made it four minor placings in a row last start when third over 1800m at this track. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. KYOWA RAY HOPE (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 3 lengths into sixth. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. HAPPY TIME (8) was in contention on the turn and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1800m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Likely improver with strong prospects. FORTUNATE (4) went to the paddock after scoring at his last appearance eight months ago over 1600m at this track. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
