Solid tempo with Scharfsinn leading from Okehampton and Presto Kaiser. PRESTO KAISER (6) bounced back last start and got the job done by half a length over 1500m at Urawa. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. OKEHAMPTON (5) held on well to finish second last start over 1600m at this track, beaten a length. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. VIGORE (7) is back from a ten weeks spell and he does run well first-up, including a win over 1500m at Urawa at the start of last prep. Key runner. TAISEI AGAIN (4) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 1800m at this track. Will drift back but wind up late. Can feature in the finish.
