LUNAR SOUTH POLE (2) is going well with four minor placings from six starts this time in work. Continued the trend at the most recent appearance when third over 1500m at this track after he was in the firing line all the way. Finds a tougher race but another big run is on the cards. SEA OF WAVE (6) did a great job to score by a neck over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. IDEALIST (3) started at $3 last time on the back of a win at this track two starts ago but was below his best, finishing 11th over 1500m at this track. Meets a stronger field but he is worth another chance. AIDAKE (4) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at Urawa, beaten 3.5 lengths. Best efforts measure up so capable of another big run.
