Genuine tempo with Tosano Shujinko leading the way. BRIGHT ROSE (7) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring comfortably over 1800m at Himeji. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. COMMENT ALLEZVOUS (8) bounced back last start and landed the prize by a neck after being in the firing line on the bend over 1400m at this track. Goes up a rung or two but she is capable of another big run. TOSANO SHUJINKO (1) was well fancied but just missed last time over 1400m at Himeji, finishing a neck from the winner. Will appreciate the extra ground. Among the chances. IMPULSE BELLA (2) showed good early dash when resuming last start and held on well to finish a neck back in second over 1400m at this track. Finds a tougher race but she has the ability to test this field.
