ARF HAI KUMPU STAKES 1600m Track: FIRM |

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

Genuine tempo with Adelante and Danon Switch up front. MEISHO HACHIRO (14) wound up strongly only to just miss when fresh from a spell as favourite last start over 1400m at this track. Should tighten right up following that outing. Looks hard to beat. SEGUIR EL VIENTO (13) lifted strongly but just failed to pick up the winner as favourite last start over 1600m at this track. Has race fitness on her side now. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. The engagement of Kiwamu Ogino is a positive move. Ready to go one better. QUANTUM WAVE (8) is a handy type who resumes after a break of five months. At his last appearance he finished fourth over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 1.5 lengths. Has two wins to his name when fresh from a spell. Should be poised just off the lead. Will give backers a great sight. SUM SHINE (9) last appeared when he scored over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt on March 28. Makes plenty of appeal.
