Matthew has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. RAMA (1) broke through for his maiden win over 1600m at this track last time. Winning rider Naoki Machida stays aboard and he is likely to feature in the finish again. MIYAGI EMPEROR (4) fought on for third last start over 1400m at Urawa, making it two minor placings in a row. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Tackling a more suitable race so he is a major player. BEAR ASUMUI (6) has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when second over 2000m at this track. Shapes as one to consider. JUNINTOIRO (14) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Will be rock-hard fit. Nicely placed to run well again.
