Strong pace with Pikapika Thunder, Revontulet and Amoureux De Paris pushing forward, closely attended by Kyokirambu and Sakura Top Real. COURS MIRABEAU (8) is back from a break of nine weeks. Only raced once last campaign which was a narrow defeat over 2000m in Listed grade at Hanshin Dirt. Form here at this journey is very good with four wins from seven runs. Looks hard to beat fresh. HAGINO SUSTAINABLE (9) was thereabouts last time out when fourth over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt after he was well back on straightening. Yet to miss the placings at this trip. Expected to run well. Z LIEN (5) is having his first run since February 28. Goes well when fresh with two wins and two placings from eight starts. Has ability and should be right in the finish. KYOKIRAMBU (16) is back from a break of 12 weeks. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when 15th over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt. Has a fine record here with two wins from five starts. Among the top-three hopes.
