A solid tempo is anticipated with Accordance and Taiko Faith kicking up to hold out the next wave. ACCORDANCE (5) went forward last start over 1400m at Himeji and held on well for second, beaten 2.5 lengths. In a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. KADOSAN GAMBARU (3) raced below his best last time when seventh over 1400m at Himeji, beaten 3 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. DREAM CHASER (4) had been racing well with three consecutive placings before last start managing only fourth over 1400m at Himeji. Expected to improve sharply. DAISHICHISEI (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Himeji, beaten 6 lengths. Fitter so watch for a better performance.
