Hokkaido (4) four runs back have been sound and gives every indication of running a strong 1m1 1/2f after catching the eye late when second over 7½f at rosehill on november 15.Backs-up quickly and rawiller keeps the ride.Go troppo (3) hard fit for this and turned in a gritty performance with the 9st6lb when sat on the speed for a narrow second over 1m1f at rosehill on november 15.Has the speed to get across and take holding out.Yet he moves (9) back in trip when taken back from the wide gate for a disappointing tenth over 7½f at rosehill on november 15.At his top now and sharp improvement expected over this journey.Sovereign express (6) big jump in grade when ran on late to finish eighth in the four pillars over 7½f at rosehill on november 4.A repeat of the latest brings him right into calculations.
