Strong tempo with Fez Kazuma and Gorgeous Lady leading the way over Hiro Shige Wave. LASER SPECKLE (6) has strung together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on August 2 over 1600m when he scored by 0.8 lengths. Winning rider Ryoto Tsukamoto retains the mount. Going up a level this time but he deserves plenty of thought. OROSKOPIO (2) got well back over 1400m at this track last time and never threatened, eventually finishing sixth. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SAKURA TOP RUN (12) turned things around last start and scored by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role again. FUTAITEN WHEEL (4) doesn't win out of turn but ran a nice race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing third and beaten 2 lengths. Sure to be thereabouts.
