Genuine tempo with A Shin Danshaku and Mana Hoku leading the way. BULLBEAR IRIDE (4) returns after a spell of five months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1400m at Urawa. Has ability and should be right in the finish. MANA HOKU (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1800m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the bend. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. COSMO FARNESE (5) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 2000m at this track, beaten 14 lengths. Has the talent to take care of this field. FLAME SWORD (2) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest finishing a 6 length fourth at this track. Has a strong record here at this journey with three wins from four runs. Deserves respect on best figures.
