Strong tempo with La Valse, Coolest and Rising Hearth going forward ahead of Kadoban Dasshutsu and Rainbow Circle. RISING HEARTH (1) was well in commission last start over 1400m at this track when second, beaten 2 lengths. Worth another chance. AMAI KUCHIZUKE (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. LA VALSE (2) showed early speed from an outside draw last start and raced on the pace before boxing on well to finish second, beaten 2 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Placed to advantage and can take this out. COOLEST (4) was in the placings again last time when 3 lengths adrift in second over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can make it to the winner's circle.
