A strong tempo is assured with Tora Ness Harp and Knife Rest leading the charge. MELTY CHOCOLAT (4) is in top form including an effortless 4 lengths win over 1400m at Mizusawa last time. Nicely placed to keep the ball rolling. SHIGERU ALEGRIA (11) led throughout last start to score an effortless 4 lengths win over 850m at Mizusawa. One of the top chances again. APARAGI (6) finished seventh two runs back at Mizusawa then improved last time out to score by 1.3 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend over 1400m at Mizusawa. Likely to be there at the finish again. PATRIE (10) has accrued three minor placings from four runs this preparation. Finished 4 lengths from the winner in second last start over 850m at Mizusawa. Must be included in this sort of form.
