Genuine tempo with the speedy Goreijo leading the way. TIGER DRAGON (3) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 1400m at this track. Has never been out of the money in six starts here at this trip, including a win. Expected to be in the finish. APOLLO PLANET (8) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then did a good job last start but found one better over 1600m at this track, beaten only 0.8 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. NEVER EVER (4) has been in the money at both runs this campaign, finding the line strongly last time to finish second over 1400m at this track. Must be respected. MEDUS (1) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 22 lengths into seventh. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
