Asakara King should find the front with Balsam Note and Mama Cocha on his heels. MAMA COCHA (3) made considerable ground in the run home to finish third last start over 1200m in the G1 Takamatsunomiya Kinen at Chukyo. Will find this a little easier than last start. Bold showing expected. TOSHIN MACAU (9) was in the same race as Mama Cocha at Chukyo, finishing alongside her. Slightly better draw here and fitter again. That looks the right form. LOGI LEON (4) was a narrow winner two back in Listed grade at Kyoto then out of the money last time when ninth in the G3 Lord Derby Challenge Trophy at Nakayama. Gets a little weight relief. Form here at this journey is very good with two wins from four runs. One of the main contenders. SHADOW FURY (1) finished sixth over 1600m in Group 3 class at Chukyo at his most recent appearance on January 5. One to consider with a good run off the inside draw.
