ARITHMETIQUE (6) kept coming only to just miss when first-up last start over 2000m at Fukushima. Should tighten right up following that outing. Back in great shape and has bright prospects. MEISHO ISLE (7) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 3.5 lengths when fourth in a 2000m contest at this track three weeks ago. Yutaka Take gets the best out of this four-year-old entire. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. LEGEND SHIP (8) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by half a length over 2000m at this track. Fitter for that last hit out and can go on with it. BIRTHRIGHT (14) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
