KAZUNARI (6) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was in the firing line all the way over 1500m at this track. Best figures measure up and is sure to run well. WATER ARE (11) made progress last time out, finishing 7 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1500m at this circuit after being prominent at the corner. Looks well placed so expect another big run. LEUK PIONE (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 1.75 lengths when fourth over 1400m here two weeks ago. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. MEISHO OHAKO (1) wasn't disgraced last start, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths over 1400m at this venue. Rates well on best figures and is worth including in calculations.
