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

Hot tempo expected from Snark Thunder and Sound Tutu. YODONO TAIYO (8) recorded a strong maiden win over 1400m at Himeji last time, getting there by 4 lengths. Looks well placed and he is a leading contender. SNARK THUNDER (6) hasn't won recently but looks close to a breakthrough based on his last start second at Himeji over 1400m when beaten 2 lengths. Form at this track is solid. Among the leading chances. HIGH LOVE SONG (4) started at $1.90 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths at Himeji over 1400m. Yet to miss the placings from six starts at this track. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. SOUND TUTU (11) was in contention on the bend and finished second last time over 1400m at Himeji when resuming from a spell, beaten 4 lengths. Yet to miss the placings in three starts over this course and distance. Placed to advantage so expect a big run.
