Genuine pace with Falchion taking up the running ahead of Hiro Suzuran and Sky Luke. FALCHION (6) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at Mizusawa two starts back then landed the prize by 4 lengths as favourite last time out over 1400m at this track. Yu Suzuki scored on her last time and retains the mount. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. MIKINO ICHIGO (1) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at Mizusawa with a win as favourite over 1200m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by 1.3 lengths. No reason he cannot salute again. HIRO SUZURAN (7) proved too strong two runs ago at Mizusawa. Not as effective last time but was far from disgraced when third. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. HYPED BOY (2) doesn't win very often but ran a nice race last time out over 850m at Mizusawa, finishing third and beaten 1.75 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a bold display.
