TIMUR (2) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 2400m at Hanshin. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. SUNSET VIEW (8) started favourite last time over 2200m at Chukyo but could only manage fourth when she was handy all the way. The extra journey should play into her hands. Right in the mix. ZUIUN GOSAI (3) resumes. Wasn't far away at last run before a break, finishing fourth over 2500m at Nakayama nine weeks ago. Makes plenty of appeal. MOLTO MAESTOSO (4) was in contention on the bend and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 2600m at Fukushima, beaten 1.75 lengths. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is perfectly placed to score.
