Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Red Stern. LO QUE VENDRA (8) is back at the races for the first time since February 21. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1800m at Kokura. Looks a winning chance. OVERSTAND (12) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Chukyo, finishing fourth and only 1.3 lengths from the winner at the end of 1600m. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. DANON BRANDNEW (1) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1800m at Hanshin, beaten 1.4 lengths into fifth. Heading the right way and is capable of winning this. GREGORIO (3) is back after a break of six months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at his latest appearance over 1600m at this track. Nicely placed and can figure in the finish.
