A strong gallop is likely with Hakushin Dance and Adarmalik taking up the running, closely attended by G T Rapid and Entusiasta. G T RAPID (2) improved sharply on his fifth two starts back at Kawasaki with a win as favourite over 2000m at Kawasaki two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by half a length after being in contention on the corner. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. ADARMALIK (10) is in great form, lifting strongly to score last start over 1500m at this track to make it two in a row. Should be prominent from the outset. Sure to be in the finish. HAKUSHIN DANCE (7) scored two back then sat on the pace last time when 4.5 lengths away in fourth over 1400m at Urawa. Winning rider Yoshimi Nakashima stays aboard. One of the contenders. GOLD BREEDER (6) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by a head over 1500m at this track. Likely to be there at the finish again.
