Verdict

DATENO SHOGUN (4) is a solid performer who finished off last campaign with a fifth over 1 ?m at this track at his latest appearance eight months ago. Is unbeaten from four runs when resuming so he should launch this prep in a positive manner. MUT KURVE (8) finished just a neck from the winner in second last start over 1m here after racing handy. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. KINGSTON BOY (7) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but disappointed last time when out of the placings at this circuit over 1m. Is unbeaten in two starts at this course and distance. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. OPINION LEADER (10) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1 5/16m at Kawasaki, beaten 7 lengths. Meets a stronger field but he is up to the task.
