ETERNO LEGAME (2) took advantage of the good draw when resuming from a spell last start and led for much of the way before finishing second, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 2000m at Chukyo. Well-placed and will take catching. KIKKO BELLO (7) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 2.25 lengths into sixth over 2000m at this track. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SARAKOSTH (4) has accrued three minor placings from three runs this campaign. Continued the trend at the most recent appearance when third over 2000m at Chukyo after he was always up in the leading division. Has the ability to take this out. A SHIN BEACON (10) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing fifth last start over 2000m at Chukyo six weeks ago. Winning rider M Demuro sticks. Among the top-three hopes.
