WAR ANTHEM (10) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 12 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 1200m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Nicely placed to play a major role. RICKEY DEESSE (6) 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 1200m here last time. Sure to take running down. UWASANO DEKOPIN (9) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 5 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1400m at Urawa. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is right in contention. BURN STRAIGHT (5) is a handy type who resumes after a break of ten weeks. Only appeared once last prep when he finished seventh over 1200m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Solid claims on best form.
