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

Pace strong with Texas Twister and Amore Sunrise leading with Kurino Champ nearby. TEXAS TWISTER (2) pushed forward from a wide draw last start and kept going to win by 3 lengths over 1230m at this track. Sure to run well again. DERMA SATURN (5) is a talented type yet to taste defeat after two runs this campaign, the latest over 1400m at this track. Won at this distance last time and he is a top chance again. MOON GARDEN (7) improved sharply on his fifth two starts back at Himeji with success over 1400m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by one length after being in the firing line on the corner. Likely to be there at the finish again. ANDERMATT (4) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing second over 1400m at this track. Well-placed and worth including.
