STEVE (8) Strong performance to win by 1 1/2L last start at this track and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Should be going forward early. Isao Yamaguchi is a crucial engagement. Big chance. MOZUNO SHIAWASE (6) Came in 4th last start at the track. Has the ability to turn things around. Shows good early pace. Very competitive this campaign. Winnable race. A SHIN QUANTUM (9) First up and tidy run when 2nd first up last preparation at Kasamatsu. Should come to hand quickly. Must respect. NOBU NORI O (2) Comprehensive victory when winning by 5L last start here and will try to take advantage of the barrier. Genuine threat.
