Plenty of pace established by Revontulet, Pikapika Thunder and Amoureux De Paris, with Snark Raffaello close at hand. TAGANO BABYLON (6) has not appeared since he finished fourth over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt on April 18. Comes to hand quickly and his best figures read well in a race like this. The testing material. COURS MIRABEAU (2) returned from a break last start with a modest eighth over 2100m in stakes class at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Form at this circuit is impressive with four wins from eight starts. Nice class drop this time so he demands respect. LEVANT UNIVERS (13) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten 4.5 lengths. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat. PIKAPIKA THUNDER (11) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a spell then ran a nice race last start over 2100m at this track, beaten one length into fourth. heading the right way and is a key contender.
