Solid tempo with Kurino Kaguya pressing forward from an outside gate with Exercise not far away. MOSCOVIUM (8) hasn't been far away lately, last time out finishing just 1.3 lengths back in fourth over 1400m at this track. Commendable record at this trip with a win and two minor placings and shapes as a key contender. ALFAJOR (4) turned things around last start and got the job done by 0.8 lengths over 1400m at this track. Can salute again. EXERCISE (5) did well last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten only one length. Has his share of ability and finds a suitable race. BURQUEM (9) turned in another moderate effort last start when eighth over 1400m at this track at the second run back from a spell. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
