Genuine pace with Governability finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. SEESAW GAME (4) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1800m at this track, beaten only 1.1 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to take this out. GOVERNABILITY (8) scored a commanding win at Kawasaki over 1400m at his latest appearance on April 10, the only time he faced the starter in that campaign. Has a high cruising speed. Will prove tough to beat. KENSHI RAINBOW (3) is a talented colt who was tested in tougher class last time when 15th over 2000m in Listed grade at Kyoto. Settles back early but winds up late. One to consider. MOUNTAIN LAUREL (2) strode forward early from his wide draw when resuming from a spell last start over 2000m at Urawa only to fade late and finish seventh. Among the chances.
