Genuine tempo with Marron Soleil and O K Thunder up front. MARRON SOLEIL (3) returns after a spell of six-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1200m at this track. Sure to make his presence felt. O K THUNDER (1) faded last time to finish seventh over 1300m at Saga after showing good early speed. Can give a sight. LAI LUA KE KAI (2) is back from a spell. Closed last prep in sparkling form with three consecutive wins, the latest over 1700m at this track on November 3. Has a good record here at this journey with four wins and three minor placings from nine starts. Should be competitive. SAIMON SORAN (6) last appeared two months ago over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt when he finished 11th. This is his first run for the Masahiro Saito stable. Stretches out over further today and is sure to be thereabouts here in easier.
