Solid tempo anticipated with Vivid Moon taking charge. IVY GAO (12) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1600m at Funabashi. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. TAKI (10) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1400m at Urawa. Should be nice and fit fourth up and can get the win here. BORDEAUX TIRAMISU (3) showed good early speed and led into the straight before fading to finish fourth over 1400m at this track. One of the main contenders. UWASANO ANOKO (4) showed early speed from an outside draw last time to lead throughout and score by 2 lengths over 1500m at Urawa. Must be included.
