|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong pace with Ho O Biscuits and Sekitoba East driving across from their wide draws. JUNE TAKE (2) crossed from an outside draw last time to stalk the lead before drawing clear to win by half a length over 2200m in the G2 Kyoto Kinen. Has two wins from four starts at this circuit. Fitter again and drawn to take beating. QUEEN'S WALK (12) goes well fresh and unbeaten course and distance, including this race last year. Not far away over 2000m in the G1 Tenno Sho (Autumn) at Tokyo four-and-a-half months ago at the only appearance of that campaign. Looks a winning chance while fresh. WILLEM (6) made a strong late bid but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 2000m in stakes class at Tokyo. Should be near his peak for this. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. DOURADORES (1) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 2200m at Nakayama when resuming after a break. Goes very well at this journey, boasting three wins from six starts and should run well.
