Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Shigerutsukimizake. AYASAN DREAM (5) was well in commission last time out but could only manage to finish seventh over 1400m at this track in a disappointing performance. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. SMILE THRIVE (1) finished 6 lengths from the winner in sixth last start over 1400m at this track, an improvement on his seventh at Kawasaki the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. JO SALUTE (8) finished fourth last start, beaten 8 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring two times from three starts. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. One to consider. CHOCOLAT ECLAIR (3) is fitter for two runs back from a spell, progressing nicely last time to finish third, beaten 7 lengths, at this track over 1400m. Should be poised just off the lead. Sure to be thereabouts.
