HERO SHOW (3) was comfortably accounted for when third last time out over 1600m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the turn. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HAGUREGUMO (1) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 1500m at Urawa. Will take advantage of the good draw. Likely improver with strong prospects. TSUKAINO KIZUNA (2) has seven wins and five minor placings from 14 races this campaign. Scored last start by 3 lengths at this track over 1700m. Steps up a level but he is good enough to take this out. SWIFT RUNNER (10) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1600m at Kawasaki. Should park just off the speed. Deserves respect on best figures.
