NORARI KURARI (8) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 2400m at Tokyo. Will drift back but wind up late. Will prove tough to beat. ASKCOMMENTALLEZVOU (6) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 5.5 lengths when fifth in a 2200m contest at Hanshin four weeks ago. Worth noting Y Iwata goes aboard. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. MAN OF NOBLE (12) failed to threaten when fresh from a spell last time out, beaten 7 lengths into eighth over 2000m at Hanshin. Has winning claims on best figures. DOLCE RETURN (11) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing 13th last start over 2400m at this track eight weeks ago. Forgive the last run; in the mix.
