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

Just a moderate tempo without an obvious speed influence. JOY RANGER (5) finished third at this track and distance at his last appearance nine months ago. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. SMILE GENIUS (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 7 lengths when fourth in a 1300m contest at Mizusawa a week ago after being in contention on the bend. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. WARP ENGINE (4) returns after four months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a 11th over 3000m at Chukyo. Rates highly on best figures and should be right in this. LAST PARADISE (3) could only manage to finish eighth, beaten 40 lengths, at his latest appearance over 1300m at Mizusawa after he gave away a big start. Appeals as a top-four contender.
