YUYU SOUPLEMENT (3) produced a reasonable effort when third last start after being in contention on the turn over 1600m at Mizusawa, beaten 1.1 lengths. That followed a win at Mizusawa the start prior. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. TENDERLY (7) registered a strong win at this track two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when third over 1600m at this track, beaten 1.1 lengths. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. CROW SONG (9) finished second first-up at this track then couldn't repeat the dose last time when fourth at this track over 1600m when beaten 1.75 lengths. Well placed here and among the winning hopes. NARINO BOGART (14) was beaten 5.5 lengths into seventh in a 1400m contest at this track a month ago. In the mix.
