HATANO LA TOUR (4) has been going well this preparation, scoring last start over 1800m at this track to make it two wins from four runs this time in. Expected to go well again. MONREALE (10) showed good early pace over 1500m at this track when resuming last time and kept going to score by half a length. Will be handy in transit despite the tricky draw. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. RAYEL (9) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when sixth over 1500m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. SASUKE CERISE (6) hasn’t been far away since a maiden win three runs back, the latest effort a third over 1500m at this track on April 3. Settles back early but winds up late. Must be respected.
