Splendeur is the likely leader at a strong tempo. SHONAN HAKUUN (14) is fitter for two runs back from a spell and has been in the placings at both appearances, the latest when second over 1200m at this track. Big chance to break through. TOMOJA CIMA (16) doesn't have the best strike rate but ran a nice race when resuming from a spell last time out over 1200m at this track, finishing fourth and beaten 1.5 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. TAISEI PUMA (9) doesn't win very often but ran a nice race last time out over 1200m at this track, finishing second and beaten a nose. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. SPLENDEUR (12) finished third last time over 1200m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 2 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Placed to advantage so expect another forward showing.
