Race 10 1800m Track: |

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

Loads of pressure, primarily from Baby The Rock, Original Pattern and Dawn Luce. BABY THE ROCK (2) scored two runs back then was well supported last time but could only manage to finish fifth over 1700m at Funabashi after he was in contention on the corner. Has the talent to take care of this field. DREAM MIYAGI (4) won his maiden three starts back and is nearing another victory with placings at his last two runs, most recently when second over 1600m at this track. Should park just off the speed. Leading contender. COSMO GIGANTEA (5) missed the frame fresh up on turf at Nakayama then again on turf and again out of the placings, finishing 16th at Tokyo over 2400m when beaten 19 lengths. Significant class drop this time. Capable of taking this out. ASTRAL GATE (7) was prominent at the bend and finished second last time over 1600m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten a neck. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the key runners.
