GOLD JUDGE (7) knuckled down strongly to get within 1.3 lengths of the winner in third last start over 1200m at this track. Takayuki Yano who has scored on him seven times retains the mount. Best form puts him right in this. COSMO SONGE (1) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at this track over 1200m, beaten a nose. Strong record with Wada Joji aboard, including three wins. Likely to feature. KOA LIO (10) is going well, scoring by 0.8 lengths two runs back at this track before finishing fourth last time over 1800m at this track. Should be thereabouts again. GOODWOOD GUY (2) turned in another moderate effort last start when 9 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1400m at this track at the second run back from a spell. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
