Expecting Riko Nick to set a genuine tempo after crossing from wide out. SEIRAN KUROFUNE (12) last appeared on November 6 when a good fifth over 1200m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. MINO BELL (9) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 1500m at Funabashi. Leading player again. AQUANAUT (1) ran below expectations last time at Urawa, finishing fifth starting at $2.10. Perfectly placed and can atone. SHORYU MASARU (10) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 1200m at this track a year ago. Hasn't broken through over this course and distance but has managed three minor placings. Deserves respect.
