Star Grip has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. STAR GRIP (1) clocked-in third behind Dream Japan last time out at this track over 1600m. Has a strong record this course, scoring at six of 11 starts. Leading contender. DREAM JAPAN (4) proved too strong last start and scored by one length over 1600m at this track. Has five wins here. Takayuki Yano who has scored on him five times retains the mount. Best form puts him right in this. MIRACLE VOICE (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Fitter so expect a better run this time. TIME MOMENT (3) hit the frame two starts ago at Funabashi but ran below par last time when ninth and beaten 7 lengths over 1500m at Urawa. Well placed and should be thereabouts.
