KIBARU STAR (6) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at this track over 1600m, beaten one length. Proving a good combination with Takami Riku with three straight placings. Likely to feature. LADY VICTORIA (9) went forward last start over 1400m at this track and held on well for second, beaten 3 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. JIKON (12) returns from a spell of four months and did win first-up last time in work over 1600m at this track. Sure to make his presence felt. GORDIAN KNOT (3) showed good speed here last time over 1400m until tiring late and finishing tenth, beaten 14 lengths. Has the ability to make his mark.
