Genuine tempo with the speedy Cranford leading the way. BOUNCY STEP (11) lines up for the first time since March 29. Looking to emulate her win at Hanshin at the beginning of last prep. Jockey aboard is unbeaten from three rides. Rates highly and should take some beating. CRANFORD (5) is a talented filly who tackled a tougher race at her last run on March 23 and finished 15th behind Wide Latour over 1400m in the G3 Aichi Hai at Chukyo. Has a high cruising speed. Best figures should see her run well. LABELING (12) finished 7 lengths behind the winner in eighth place when resuming over 1600m last start in the G2 Yomiuri Milers Cup at this track. Second up record is sound. Leading chance on best form. JOSHO HOPE (3) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his only appearance last prep in stakes class at Nakayama over 1600m on March 16. Makes plenty of appeal.
