Sizzling pace from Shin Forever, Leander and W Heart Bond locking horns ahead of Sunday Funday and Satono Phoenix. W HEART BOND (12) returns from a 133-day break and puts a perfect record on the line at start five. Last appeared when she easily accounted for her rivals over this distance at Kyoto Dirt. The one to beat. SUNDAY FUNDAY (7) gave a bold sight at the latest appearance over 1800m in the G3 Antares Stakes at this track but dropped out to finish eighth. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Grade Two winner who has a class edge on most of these. SATONO PHOENIX (3) finished a 5 length eighth when resuming last start over 1400m in stakes class at Kyoto Dirt. Has been in the money at each second up start. Leading chance on best form. TOUCH WOOD (13) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten 7 lengths. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.
