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

Strong tempo assured from Up Shogun and Jun Firenze leading the charge. KAWATEN MAX (6) scored by 2 lengths first up from a spell last time out over 1500m at this track. Boasts dominant form here with six wins from eight starts. Sure to be there at the business end. ULTIMATE SAGA (2) was a winner over 1400m at Kasamatsu last time out, dropping out early before coming home with a powerful run to score by half a length. Rates highly and should go well again. UP SHOGUN (9) turned in a fine effort to win by a head at this track and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Going up a level this time but he can win again. COSMO ROUGE (1) made progress last start to finish second over 920m at this track. No surprise to see him in contention.
