THE OSAKA HAI 2000m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Anticipating a solid early tempo with plenty of pace engaged. CROIX DU NORD (15) is a classy entire resuming. Two time winner this level and loves the trip. Excels fresh and looks hard to beat. MEISHO TABARU (6) is unbeaten in three runs here and won only try course and distance. Expected to play a major role. DANON DECILE (4) boasts a top record this level and this time last year won a Grade 1 in Dubai. Best figures stack right up and will go close. SHOHEI (5) is a progressive type who goes best fresh and solid return wouldn't surprise. LEBENSSTIL (12) is yet to win this level but more than competitive. Strong winning chance.
