A solid tempo on the cards with Cosmo Fliegen leading the way. SHINING SWORD (3) is yet to miss the placings in five starts, including three wins. Last appeared when he was successful over 2400m at Tokyo on February 15. Has a formidable combination with Yuga Kawada who has been aboard for his last three wins. Sure to run well. COSMO FLIEGEN (4) went forward when resuming last start over 1800m at this track and held on well for second, beaten 0.8 lengths. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. NIGHT IN LONDON (8) started at $9.50 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 1.75 lengths at Tokyo over 2000m. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. SATONO CLOAK (10) resumed seven weeks ago over 2000m at Kokura and was only beaten 0.9 lengths into fourth. Fitter so watch for a better performance.
