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

Strong tempo, primarily from Wreath And Ribbon and Bliss Time. ALWAYS KIZUNA (11) is going well this time in work, including a last start win over 1400m at this track to bring up two wins from three runs in the campaign. Expected to go well again. LONGWOOD (10) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 2.5 lengths over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with three wins from five runs. Leading player again. BLISS TIME (8) made it four wins on the bounce last start when he scored by 0.8 lengths over 1400m at this track. Winning rider Yuri Takahashi retains the mount. Looks well placed so expect another big run. WREATH AND RIBBON (3) scored last start at Mizusawa to make it two wins from four starts this campaign. Likely to go forward from a nice draw. Don't underestimate.
