Looking to Gagne, Marumori Happiness and Yamakatsu Run Away as likely leaders in a solid speed battle. GAGNE (4) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 2.5 lengths over 1500m at this track. Boasts four wins here. Should be prominent from the outset. Sure to be in the finish. ABSTRUSE (2) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish second over 1500m at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. KOMA ZERO ONE (9) improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths as favourite over 1400m at this track. Aoi Kinomae scored on him last time and retains the ride. Going up a level this time but he is good enough to play a major role. BEACH HIGHBALL (7) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by 2 lengths over 1400m at this track. Expect another big run.
