Genuine pace with A Shin Zeta finding the front from her low draw. KOMA ZERO ONE (8) made it three wins in succession last start when he scored by 2.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Winning rider Manato Hida retains the mount. Meeting a tougher field but on current form he is capable of another big performance. HAPPY RUNNA (10) won her maiden three starts back and is nearing another victory with placings at her last two runs, most recently when third over 1800m at this track. Winning rider Isao Yamaguchi stays aboard. Leading contender. M T PEACE (5) scored at this track last time out with a neck in reserve at the end of 1400m. Boasts four wins here. Can measure up again. HATENABITO (12) was safely held when resuming last start but is worth keeping in mind on best form.
