ROUGE STUNNING (1) turned in a fine effort to score by 2 lengths at today's course and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up result. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is up to the challenge. STRENGTH (9) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing second over 1400m at this track when he was handy all the way. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. NEWSIES (12) is a progressive galloper who is first-up since finishing seventh over 1600m at Nakayama five months ago which was the only run of that prep. Has three wins to his name when fresh from a spell. Capable of playing a big role. ACCHA GHORA (8) finished third last time over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again.
