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

Looks a decent tempo with Meisho Tamushiba, Pays De La Loire and Yuto The Ren leading the charge. MEIKEI REIN (3) made up a stack of late ground and finished third when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track. Has a win and four placings at this journey from seven starts. Fitter and looks the testing material. MEISHO TAMUSHIBA (6) boxed on to finish second last start over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten half a length, when resuming. In a suitable race and can find winning ways. KALPA (13) progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt after missing the placings at the previous appearance. The engagement of Yuga Kawada is a positive move. Ready to find the winner's circle. DANON KILAUEA (2) was beaten 3 lengths into fifth at the second run back from a break over 1400m at Chukyo last time out. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
