Solid tempo from Haguregumo, Yoruno Teio and Hero Show battling for the lead in a high-pressure contest. HERO SHOW (3) was third last time out over 1600m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins. Major player. HAGUREGUMO (1) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 1500m at Urawa. Will take advantage of the good draw and can go well again. TSUKAINO KIZUNA (2) has seven wins and five minor placings from 14 races this campaign. Scored last start by 3 lengths at this track over 1700m. Good enough to take this out. SWIFT RUNNER (10) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1600m at Kawasaki. Deserves respect on best figures.
