A solid tempo on the cards with Crown R C taking charge. EIICHI (3) settled towards the tail then wound up strongly to finish 2 lengths away in second when resuming last start over 1700m at this track. Form at this track is solid. Bold showing expected. TAISEI THRIVE (7) is back from a spell of five months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1500m at Funabashi. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Junji Tanaka. Has found a suitable race. CROWN R C (5) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on November 13, finishing seventh and beaten 5.5 lengths over 1800m at this track. Looks a strong top-three prospect. ARMA BLADE (1) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into fifth over 1700m at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
