A Shin Leo should spear straight to the front of the small field. KEVALA (3) returns from a break of nine weeks. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a second over 1870m at this track. Expected to bring the good form from last campaign to this contest. A SHIN LEO (2) is a strong first-up performer who resumes after a break of three-and-a-half months. Was in top form before a spell with two straight wins, the latest over 1800m at Himeji. Has a strong association with S Kawahara who has been in the saddle for his last two wins. Likely to feature. GOOD EXPRESS (1) failed to figure last time over 1870m at this track when eighth. Has enough ability to be competitive in this line-up. MEINER EVINCE (5) was 12th at the second run back from a break over 1400m at this track at his latest appearance. Fitter and can turn things around.
