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

Solid tempo with Cesa Sunrise leading from Revident and Takeno Okan. CESA SUNRISE (1) showed good early speed last start over today's journey at this track before finishing second, beaten 1.5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. REVIDENT (9) missed the frame last time when fourth at this track. That followed a run of four wins on end. Form at this distance is strong with six wins from seven starts and is a leading contender. SEI SCARLET (5) proved too strong two runs ago at Nagoya. Couldn't follow that up last time out when third over 1300m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TAKENO OKAN (2) ran a better race last start, finishing 3.5 lengths away in fourth over 1300m at this track. The engagement of Manato Hida is a positive move. Nicely placed to find some form.
