|---|---|---|---|---|

A solid tempo from Cheval Noir, Revolt Bullet and Taiki Vier Liebe all kicking up to take advantage of their low draws. NICHT ZU SEHR (16) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 2.25 lengths away in third over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt. Up sharply in distance but has placed over 2400m before. Can get the job done. COSMIC DANCER (3) finds it hard to win but left a good impression last time out when beaten half a length into second over 2400m at this track. Likely to be fighting out the finish again. DAISHIN LEALEA (12) finished seventh, beaten 6 lengths, last time out over this course and distance after coming from an outside draw. Should park just off the speed and if on song is capable of testing this field. CHEVAL NOIR (7) raced on the speed from the outset and went to score by 4 lengths last time over 1600m at Kochi. Tackles tougher company this time and is up sharply in distance but can sneak into the finish.
