Solid tempo likely with Lover's Eye, Irregular and Hakuai Windsor prominent. LOVER'S EYE (4) built on a nice third two starts back with success as favourite over 1400m at this track a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by 2.5 lengths. Manato Hida scored on her last time and retains the mount. Anticipating another big run. TEAM CHEMISTRY (6) found plenty to score by 3 lengths three runs back at this track before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Winning rider Yoshiki Yamada stays aboard. Bold showing expected. POPPING BERRY (8) missed the placings when sixth over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and is expected to measure up. HURRICANE MEFA'A (12) pushed forward from a wide draw last start and found a position close to the lead before sticking on well to finish third over 1400m at this track. In the mix.
