Expecting Letter From Paris to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. HATSUWAKA (2) resumes from a spell of 11 months and is having his first outing under new trainer Masao Ai. Finished 13th at Tokyo Dirt over 1400m at the opening run last time in work. Shapes well and a bold showing is expected. LETTER FROM PARIS (4) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1200m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. CORN TOPS (6) was in the firing line on the corner but turned in a mediocre run last time out over 1500m at this track after a nice win the start prior. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. MANDALAY (3) was beaten 10 lengths into fifth in a 1400m contest at Urawa last time out. Minor claims.
