Verdict

SAINT LAZARE (6) was well in commission when resuming last start over 1m at Tokyo Dirt when fifth, beaten 3.5 lengths. Meets an inferior line-up and is the one to beat. ORIGINAL PATTERN (4) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Already a two time winner including last start when scoring by 4 lengths over 7f at Urawa. Rates well and looks a definite winning hope. MUSCLE (9) has accrued three minor placings from four runs this preparation. Continued the trend at the most recent appearance when runner-up over 1m at Kawasaki after he was in the firing line all the way. Tsubasa Sasagawa gets the best out of this three-year-old colt. Taking on a better line-up this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. ROAD LUCE (8) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 7f at this track, beaten half a length. Will strip fitter this time. Nicely placed to run well again.
