Pace looks strong with Gambariki pressing on from an outside draw, joining Success Beiju. LIVE BAFFY (4) was well in commission last start over 1500m at Kawasaki when second, beaten 2.5 lengths. Strong winning chance. GOLD PARTNER (12) made a strong late bid only to just miss last start over 1500m at this track. Placed to advantage so expect another big run. TOA RUDOLF (6) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when eighth, beaten 12 lengths, over 1400m at Urawa. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. SUCCESS BEIJU (3) showed good early dash and led for much of the way over this course and distance last time, eventually fading to finish fourth and beaten 4 lengths. Change of rider to Takehiro Kasano who has four wins when aboard. Can play a role in the finish.
