Solid tempo anticipated with Gloria Mundi heading them off. GLORIA MUNDI (2) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third when resuming last start over 2200m at Funabashi. Likely improver with strong prospects. GLUHWURM (14) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at Ohi over 1800m, beaten a head. Cherry-ripe now. In the mix over the longer journey. LYRA BOND (1) is back from a spell of 11 weeks. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1700m at Funabashi. Definite top-three chance. JO ESPOIR (11) has been kept fresh since he resumed last start and proved too strong, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 1600m at Funabashi. Fitter for that last hitout and is among the better chances.
