Loulou Neige has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. LOULOU NEIGE (9) returns from the paddock after closing last prep with two consecutive wins, the most recent over 1230m at this track. Form here at this trip reads three wins from five starts. Among the leading chances. SATONO LUXON (2) had been in top form, scoring two consecutive wins before being sent out favourite last time and finishing fourth here. Kenta Sugiura who has two wins when partnering stays on. Sure to play a big role. SIMPLY THE BEST (3) showed good early speed over 1400m at this track last time and went on to salute by a nose. Commendable record at this trip with a win and four minor placings and is one of the contenders. MEINER KAGURA (6) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 800m at Himeji after he got a long way back in the run. Likely improver who should be thereabouts.
