SOUND MOVE (2) met with solid support when resuming last start over 1800m at Hanshin when third, beaten 2 lengths. Will improve off that performance and is worth another chance. IMPACT SEA (8) resumes. Wasn't far away at the only run last time in work, finishing seventh over 1800m at Hakodate 11 weeks ago. Has never missed the frame at this venue, including two wins. Expected to be in the finish. FORLANINI (4) returns from a layoff of ten weeks. Scored over 1800m at Tokyo to launch the last campaign. Definite top-three chance. WATER CLARK (10) last appeared when successful by 0.8 lengths over 1600m at Kyoto four-and-a-half months ago, the only time he went to the races last prep. Has never been out of the placings in four starts at this journey and cannot be taken lightly.
