SANONO TARUMAE (12) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1400m at this track. Has the speed to overcome a wide draw. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. VALLUMNOS (6) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish second over 1500m at this track at her latest appearance. Has a superb record here at this trip with two wins and a 100% top-three strike rate. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will prove tough to beat. AMULETO (10) gave a sight here last time, leading until late before finishing fourth and beaten 3.5 lengths over 1500m. Well-placed and expected to feature. SOUTHERN FLEUVE (1) was a winner over 1500m at Kawasaki last time, racing on the pace before getting the upper hand and scoring by a nose. Solid top-three chance.
