|---|---|---|---|---|

Solid tempo anticipated with Zenit and Yamanin Brighten pressing forward with Full Gorilla not far away. NEO TRUE (2) did well last start but found one better over 1300m at this track, beaten only one length. Looks well placed so expect another big run. MAJOR LABEL (7) finished fourth last start over 1400m at this track, an improvement on his first-up 15th at Nakayama the run before. Top three contender. YAMANIN BRIGHTEN (1) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1300m. Finds a suitable race and can build on solid recent efforts. PEPTIDE HINATA (8) has been out of the money at his last couple, the latest when 12th at Tokyo Dirt. Getting down in the weights now. Well-placed in this easier company and deserves another chance.
