FUSHIMI INARI has run well over staying distances. He has dropped in ratings and it could be the right race for him. MAMBO COME TESIO's merit rating has dropped a few points and the consistent sort could threaten again. TO THE RESCUE is taking his time but could suddenly spark up one of these days. He should be at his peak in his third run after a rest. FLAG BEARER wasn't far off some decent individuals last time and can earn again. AFRAAD, BANHA BRIDGE and NUCLEAR FORCE are capable and any of these could upset the favourites.
