Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Grand Cru. MASANO VISION (9) is on the quick back up after sitting on the pace and boxing on well to finish second at this track eight days ago. Has a wide gate to overcome but could prove tough to beat. ALWAYS KIZUNA (6) has not appeared since she finished 11th over 2600m at Hakodate on July 5. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Kazumune Ito. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. T O CABALLE (8) proved too strong two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. GRAND CRU (2) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths into fifth. Capable of featuring prominently.
