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

Good pace with Red Weiss, Yapushi and Sumeragi matching motors. SHIMIZU MINATO (12) impressed last time with a 3 length win at this track over this journey. Form at this track is solid and will prove tough to beat. SUMERAGI (6) scored two runs back then sat on the pace last time when 7 lengths away in third over 1600m here. Winning rider Masashige Honda stays aboard and is sure to run well. SMILE MORE (11) was in a different class last time, sitting just off the speed before letting down impressively for a 6 length win at this circuit over 1600m. Keita Nishi who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Has winning claims on best figures. YAPUSHI (10) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at this course, beaten 6 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Fitter now so is a likely improver.
