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

Strong pace with Daishin Ares, Ace Raising and Super Azulada pushing forward, closely attended by Kichi Griffon and Eloim Essaim. HIRO BRAVE (3) turned in a fine effort to win by 6 lengths at this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is right in contention. KICHI GRIFFON (2) returns from a layoff of a year. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1400m at Sonoda. One of the genuine hopes in the race. DAISHIN ARES (9) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 4 lengths away in third over 1400m at this track. Should go forward from the awkward gate. In a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. SUPER AZULADA (4) did a great job to score by a neck over this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
