|---|---|---|---|---|

Solid tempo likely from Wonder Bling and Land Primero. WONDER BLING (4) pushed forward and led throughout to score a 3 length win over 1400m at Himeji last time. Same winning combination here and is right in this. LAND PRIMERO (3) went to the paddock after scoring at his last appearance ten weeks ago over 1400m at Kasamatsu. Now under the care of new trainer Akio Adachi. Should be hard to stop. SMART VICTOR (2) led throughout last start to score an effortless 6 lengths win over 1800m at Himeji. Must be included. HINODE TEIO (10) resumed over 1500m at Himeji last start and was too good for his rivals, scoring by a neck. Fitter for that last hitout and he can measure up again.
