Flight Blue should lead at a strong tempo. MEISHO TADAKATSU (9) met with solid support last start over 1750m at this track when fourth. Leo Nakayama who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Leading contender. YUCCA RAN (2) has switched yards since finishing fourth a month ago over 1400m at Urawa. Worth serious consideration. FLIGHT BLUE (6) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing second over 1400m at this track. Will push forward and is among the chances. RINEN DRIVE (7) drifted back over 1400m here last time before winding up late to finish fourth. Can feature.
