Moderate tempo headed by Minorichan. FIRST LOOK (2) was fourth on debut then ran a better race to finish second last time, beaten 3 lengths over 1400m at this track. Going well and is one of the major players. VIP LIAM (8) was well in commission when resuming last start over 1400m at Urawa when seventh, beaten 9 lengths. Well-placed to make amends. HORSE SPIRIT (1) ran below expectations last time at Nagoya, finishing ninth and beaten 12 lengths starting at $2.90. Finds a tougher race but a big run will not surprise. MIKA EMBRACE (9) resumes from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1400m at this track. Has ability and must be included in calculations.
