Genuine tempo with Komasa leading the way. LUNAR MONTH (5) returned from a spell five-and-a-half weeks ago when she was in the firing line on the corner before being beaten 5 lengths into 13th over 1200m at Kyoto. Strips fitter and can take this out. COCO LASSI (8) finished 6 lengths away in eighth last time out over 1300m at Tokyo Dirt six-and-a-half weeks ago as $2.8 favourite. Steps up in journey today. Down in class and worth following up. KOMASA (6) was far from disgraced after being in the firing line on the bend to finish 2.5 lengths away in second last start over 1200m at this track. That followed a win on debut at this track. Must raise the bar but he has the talent to test this line-up. MASANO SIRIUS (7) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff he finished eighth over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt. Has ability and must be included in calculations.
