A SHIN REGARDS (5) was an emphatic winner last time over 1230m at this track with today's rider Tomohiro Yoshimura engaged. Goes well at this distance with two wins and a placing from four starts and should be hard to stop. AZIMUT (2) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1230m. Has the pace and draw to take up a good early position. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. ORO VENTO (4) ran below his best last time over 1400m at this track. Takanori Nagai is back on and has a solid record on the three-year-old, including two wins. Sure to be competitive. BELLAGIOHIDAKABOSI (8) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when sixth over 1400m at this track. Can bounce back.
