Black Olympia can take up the running at a strong tempo. Genuine tempo with Black Olympia likely to find himself in front. AURUM ARES (2) wasn't far away last time and is edging towards a win, the latest effort a solid second over 2200m at Listed level at this track. Extra trip a plus and he is among the main hopes. BLACK OLYMPIA (4) is a promising galloper who got the prize at his only run last prep ten weeks ago over 2200m at Kyoto. Winning rider Yuga Kawada stays aboard. Good fresh performer who should be in the finish. CUT SOLO (3) got off the mark over 2400m at this track last start, scoring by 0.8 lengths. Re-unites with Ryusei Sakai who was on board last start. Must be respected now that the penny has dropped. TAGANO ALTURA (9) broke his maiden three starts back and has not been far away since, most recently when beaten a neck into second over 2400m at this track. Seinosuke Yoshimura stays on. Not to be discounted.
