Strong tempo with Argo Navis, Je T'adore and Eikai Boxer leading the way. ARGO NAVIS (8) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 12 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten 5.5 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Makes plenty of appeal. MEISHO COUGAR (11) impressed last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 2.75 lengths from the winner in third over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. BELLE HISTOIRE (6) was in contention on the corner and finished second last time over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten 2.5 lengths. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. TANABATA (3) strode forward early from his wide draw last start over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt only to fade late and finish fourth. Worth including.
