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

Genuine tempo with Chica Poco and Takeno Okan pressing for the lead. CHICA POCO (8) started at $4.90 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 2.5 lengths, at this track over 1400m. Should park just off the speed. Expecting a bold showing. TAKENO OKAN (7) got home by 4 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including two wins. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will play a major role. B B DAIGO (6) started at $4.90 last time but could only manage sixth, beaten 3 lengths, at this track over 1400m. Has a win and two minor placings from four starts at this track and distance. Winning claims on best figures. I AM RUNRUN (2) was safely held when resuming last start over 1400m at this track, finishing 11th and beaten 16 lengths. Record here is impressive with five wins from 12 starts. Strips fitter and must be included.
