MOON HALO (12) did a great job to score by half a length over this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. DOLCIARIA (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 2000m at Urawa after being prominent at the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. DIRT RAISING (3) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with success over 2000m at Urawa three weeks ago, getting home by a neck. This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form he is good enough to take this out. GLORY AN'S TIME (6) ran ninth at his latest appearance over 2000m at Urawa, finishing 8 lengths from the winner. This sets up nicely.
