Genuine tempo with King's Way leading the way. KING'S WAY (5) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 27 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 1500m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Finds the right race this time and can take this out. TONO KANSHO (3) is back from a break of three-and-a-half months. Closed last campaign with a narrow defeat over 1500m at Urawa. Has ability and should be right in the finish. KERAUNOS KAZU (2) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Not as effective last time out when sixth over 1500m at this track. Has the ability to take care of this field. GRAND HAVANE BLEU (6) returned from a spell a month ago when he finished seventh over 1500m at this track. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
