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

Solid tempo with A Shin Quantum to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. A SHIN QUANTUM (9) finished fifth last start over this distance at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Has a strong record this course, scoring at five of 10 starts. Best form puts him right in this. LUXE WARRIOR (2) was thereabouts last time out when second at this track over 1400m, beaten 0.8 lengths. That run should have him rock-hard fit now. Katsuto Maruno who has two wins when partnering stays on. Likely to feature. ARC PREMIER (3) gets out over more ground today on the back of some solid form of late, the most recent effort a second over 1400m at this track. Missed the frame at his only try at this trip. Ken Takagi has registered two minor placings when on board. One of the main contenders. TAISEI SHIP (6) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing seventh over 1600m at this track. Top-three prospects.
