Mico Departure can take up the running at a strong tempo. Genuine tempo with Mico Departure likely to find herself in front. MOON AND BUCK (1) led throughout last time over 1200m at this track and scored a comfortable win. Same rider aboard and is a leading contender. EMPEROR WEATHER (7) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 800m at Urawa ten weeks ago and has not appeared since. Looks promising and can measure up again. CHIKA IDOL (4) was in control from the outset to score on debut over 1000m at this track five weeks ago. Will come on following that run and looks a definite threat. STRONG BOND (5) resumes after a break of three-and-a-half months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 1000m at this track. Top-three claims.
