CUT BACK (9) Kicked clear when winning by a margin of 6L last run here and ideal trip as proven previously. Added confidence with Osamu Shimohara doing the steering. Deserves respect. BRADSHAW (8) Strong performance to win by 1 3/4L last start around here. Displays good tactical speed. Each way hope. COUPERIN (1) First run back after a break. Tidy run when 2nd last time at Kochi and suited at this distance in the past. First race for a new trainer. Could pose a threat and looks promising. LEO BRILLANT (4) Finished 6th last time at this track. Wataru Hirose and Tadaaki Hashimoto rate highly together. In the mix.
