Genuine tempo from Shonan Marine leading Ikeno Tsubamechan. SHONAN MARINE (6) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 7 lengths over 1400m at this track. In a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. IKENO TSUBAMECHAN (4) went fast early and went on to score by 0.8 lengths last time out over 1300m at this track. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. UNCLE THUNDER (11) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by a nose over 1400m at this track. That continued the solid form this campaign, with four wins and four minor placings from 10 starts. Should be in the finish. SMILE FOREST (5) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time out over 1400m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Finds a suitable race and can run a bold race.
