Solid tempo set by A Shin Nazareth and Amore Sunrise. HAGINO VERDON (9) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth over 1400m at Himeji. Kenta Sugiura stays on. Sure to run well. ISKIOS (4) returns after 14 months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Rates highly here and is a strong chance to break through. GENTATSU (2) started at $9.90 last time and ran below expectations, finishing seventh at Himeji over 1400m. Finds a nice race and can atone. AMORE SUNRISE (3) strode forward early from her wide draw last start over 1400m at Himeji only to fade late and finish sixth. Cannot be underestimated.
