|---|---|---|---|---|

Expecting a strong pace headed by Sure Gait, Great Journey and Mille Nuits. MILLE NUITS (7) was an impressive winner last time over 1600m at this track, scoring by 2 lengths to make it three on the bounce. Is unbeaten here at this trip from five starts. Will be hard to stop. GOLD LEGACY (11) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1600m at Funabashi. Should be hard to stop. GREAT JOURNEY (4) raced on the speed from the outset and went to score by a head last time over 1500m at Kawasaki. Has a formidable combination with Kota Motohashi who has been aboard for his last three wins. Has claims on his best figures. JOHNSON TESORO (9) had been in top form, scoring five consecutive wins before being sent out favourite last time and finishing seventh over 1400m at Urawa. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. In the mix.
