|---|---|---|---|---|

Looks a decent tempo with Takara Liner, Emmy's Mitsuo and Hoshino Suna leading the charge. SMILE MORE (10) travelled just behind the leader before taking over and scoring a determined win by a neck over 1600m here last time. Has a formidable combination with Keita Nishi who has been aboard for his last two wins. Leading contender. EMMY'S MITSUO (12) returns from a break of 14 months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 2200m at this track. Finds the right race to launch another bright campaign. HOSHINO SUNA (6) went forward over 1600m at this track last time but found a couple better. Record at this track is strong. Capable of a big run. GREAT FURIOSO (5) had been in sparkling form winning two races on end but missed the frame most recently when fifth over 1800m at this track. Has a very good record here with six wins from 12 starts. Among the top-three hopes.
