Race 5 1860m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong pace from Minamijujisei and Nangoku Top Gun matching motors with Nishino Sunstone close at hand. MINAMIJUJISEI (10) turned in a modest performance when third last time out over 1750m at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Yet to miss the placings from six starts at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. T M DREAMER (8) is a five-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 22 lengths when 11th over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Will take a lot from that hit-out and looks a strong chance to break through. CLAVIUS (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 8 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. NISHINO SUNSTONE (1) stuck on well last start to finish second over 1400m at this track after showing good early speed. Has the ability to figure prominently.
