KEY CLASSIC (8) Ran 4th last time at Himeji. Happy to overlook that run. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Will be competitive. BLONDE ALE (2) Ran 3rd last time at Himeji and has a positive barrier. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. CONJUNCTION (5) Came in 6th last start at Himeji. Can show a better performance this time. Displays good tactical speed. Won't be far away. FESTIVO (7) Tidy effort when 2nd last start at Himeji. Always seems to find the line well. Among the chances.
