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

Genuine tempo with Recuerdo leading the way. RECUERDO (4) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 1.5 lengths away in second over 1300m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. A SHIN QUANTUM (7) ran below expectations last time at Kasamatsu, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths starting at $4.50. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. ANOTHER VITA (1) settled well back but hit the line well to finish fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over 1400m here last time. Worth including. RED LEGGERA (3) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into sixth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
