Decent sized field but it lacks any obvious pace. RECADO (7) has been out of the frame at her last couple of runs, last time finishing 13 lengths away in 12th over 1600m. Has found the JRA circuit beyond her lately. Should feature back to this level. NARUSA (1) finished third, beaten 6 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1500m at this track after he was prominent at the corner. Suitably placed to crack the maiden win. TAKAO SMILE (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 3 lengths when sixth in a 1800m contest at Monbetsu three-and-a-half weeks ago. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. FANTASY SKY (12) was safely held when 12th last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 19 lengths after a good first-up win at this track. Best figures measure up so deserves another chance.
