Genuine tempo with Pod Halo and Ace Raising up front. HIRO SHIGE SUNRISE (3) was a gutsy winner last time over 800m at Himeji, scoring by 1.3 lengths to make it two wins on the bounce. Top chance again. ANGLER (1) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a third at Himeji over 800m. Great chance to finally return to the winners' circle. HAMBURG HAMMER (9) performed above expectations last time over 800m at Himeji, finishing 1.3 lengths from the winner in second after starting at huge odds. Should park just off the speed. Will be in this for a long way. PUERTO GALERA (4) found the line nicely last start to get up for third over 800m at Himeji. Top-three prospects.
