Solid tempo anticipated with Gushichanno Hoshi heading them off. GUSHICHANNO HOSHI (9) finished third over 1400m at this track last time out following a determined win two back. Winning rider Manato Hida stays aboard. Sure to run well. JAZZ DANCE (4) did a great job to score by half a length over today's course and distance last start in a much improved run. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is right in contention. KOMA ZERO ONE (6) hasn't been far away lately, beaten 1.75 lengths at his most recent appearance when fourth over 1400m at this track. Form at this track is strong with four wins to his credit so a bold run is likely. PUA LANI (3) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fifth, beaten 3 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Solid top-three prospects.
