Expecting Chamo to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. CHAMO (9) returns from a spell after finishing off the last campaign in solid form including a narrow defeat over 1000m at this track last time out. Good record at this journey and looks a top chance. M P FLIP (7) last appeared four weeks ago over 1300m at Kochi when he finished 11th. This is his first run for the Masahiro Saito stable. Worth serious consideration. MANA LANAKILA (8) has switched yards since finishing fourth three weeks ago over 1200m at Funabashi. Comes here with definite top-three claims. THUNDER EFFECT (3) has switched yards since finishing eighth seven weeks ago over 1400m at Kasamatsu. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
