Solid tempo anticipated with Lady Bolero and Peperoncino leading the way. LADY BOLERO (2) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing second last time when she was always up in the leading division over 1300m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. PEPERONCINO (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Kasamatsu, beaten 6 lengths. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. FEEL ALIVE (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths into seventh after being in the firing line on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. TOKINO SHOHEI (3) returned from a spell five weeks ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into ninth over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
