TARO MEISTER (4) returns from the paddock after closing last prep with two consecutive wins, the most recent over 1500m at this track. Has never missed the frame at this venue, including four wins. Will prove tough to beat. VINA SAIGON (8) showed good early speed from the inside draw last time and led throughout to score by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Form at this track is solid. Should be in the finish. PAWA POKE WING (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5.5 lengths when eighth over 1200m at Funabashi eight days ago after being in the firing line on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. LIVE GARNET (9) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on 21/10/2024, finishing ninth and beaten 6 lengths over 1400m at this track. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
