|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong tempo with Eiraku, Asaka Love Love and Kawakitaborderless leading the way. KAWAKITABORDERLESS (7) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at this track over 820m last time, finishing sixth after being in the firing line on the bend. Has a good record at this course and distance, including five wins. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. ENA DRIVE (1) returns from a spell of seven months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when fourth over 1400m at this track. Under the care of new trainer Norio Tanaka this prep. Sure to make her presence felt. JHANG MAGHIANA (6) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 820m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ACE RAISING (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.3 lengths from the winner in second over 820m at this track. This looks a good race for him so another forward showing looks likely.
