Expecting Haguregumo to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. TSUKAINO KIZUNA (5) found the line nicely to grab third last time out over 1600m at this track. Loves racing here at this distance and has never been out of the money in four runs. Expected to be in the finish again. SWIFT RUNNER (8) did a great job to score by 0.8 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Look for another big run. TAKARA LINER (10) crossed from an outside draw last time to stalk the lead before drawing clear to win by one length over 1600m at this track. Has a solid record at this circuit. One of the main contenders. HAGUREGUMO (12) improved last start but found a couple better over 1500m at Urawa. Among the chances.
