Genuine pace with Cresco Yusha taking up the running ahead of Win Grand Bleu and Eifer Cap. CRESCO YUSHA (8) has scored at his last six starts, most recently by 2.5 lengths over 1700m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with seven wins from eight starts. The one to beat again. EIFER CAP (10) travelled in a rearwards position and was disappointing over 1700m at this track last time out when in the market. That followed a good third the run prior. Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and two minor placings. Steps up a level but he is good enough to feature. WIN GRAND BLEU (4) has struggled on the JRA circuit recently, last start finishing ninth at Niigata over 3290m. Finds the right race this time and look for an improved run. SETTING SUN (9) missed the placings last start when ninth over 1400m at this track. Nice and fit and willing to give him another chance.

The start before that 5th of 9 at this track on May 15 over 1700m, 3.5 len behind Light Pillar with 58kg at $8.20. Will jump at pretty long odds and deservedly so. |
