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

Genuine tempo from Feel My Plan leading Rocket Punch. MEINER AURANTIA (6) was doing his best work late last start to get up for third over 1800m at this track, a career peak performance. Racing well deep into the maiden prep and can run over the top of them late. AOHARU BLUES (9) finished 1.4 lengths from the winner in fifth last start after being in contention on the bend over 1800m at this track, an improvement on his eighth at Tokyo Dirt the run before. Heading the right way so anticipating another big run. VENT D'ESPERANCE (14) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when fourth over 1800m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Can progress again and play a role in the finish. ROCKET PUNCH (11) was in the firing line on the bend and finished third last time over 1800m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat.
