Verdict

SARASA EMPEROR (4) showed good early pace over 7f at this track last time and kept going to score by 1.5 lengths. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the speed. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. COSMO TARRAGON (8) is in top form, most recently recording a win by one length over 4 ¼f at Mizusawa to make it two on the bounce. Has a high cruising speed. Best form puts him right in this. RUNNING HOT (3) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 7f at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. CREVASSE (7) started this preparation with a win then was less impressive last time out when seventh over 7 ½f at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Worth another chance.
