Verdict

KAGAYAKI TEMMA (5) showed good speed and led for much of the way before being claimed in the straight and fading to finish fourth, beaten 6 lengths, over 6f here last time. Has a solid record at this circuit. Expected to be in the finish. ALLES GUT (3) had been in great form winning two on end before missing the frame last time when 13th over 7f at this track. Has a strong record here, including two wins. Sure to go well. FERDINANDO (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 7f at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Nicely placed to find winning ways. JO TOBY (7) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 4f at Urawa but was on the up, finishing fifth, and this suits.
