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

Pace strong from Five M going forward with Steel Thunder kicking up. BEL LEONE (10) has been thereabouts since getting off the mark three runs back, the latest effort a second here. Sure to go well again. STEEL THUNDER (1) opened this campaign last start with a third, beaten 2 lengths here. Among the leading chances. FLY EFFECT (12) is returning from a spell of five-and-a-half months. Finished sixth at Fukushima over 1200m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Isamu Kubo. Has found the right race and is worth including. FIVE M (6) showed early speed from an outside draw and held a forward position before fading to finish fourth last start over 1000m at Monbetsu. Worth including.
