ONE WORLD (4) was safely held on the JRA circuit two back then appreciated the easier company last time when third over 1400m at this track. Facing a similar assignment and is expected to go well again. VELOURS DU ROI (7) resumes from a spell of seven months and is having his first outing under new trainer Naoto Mizukami. Finished 15th at Fukushima over 2000m at the opening run last time in work. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. SHINEN KOGETSU (8) showed early speed from an outside draw when resuming last start and raced on the pace before boxing on well to finish second, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. KURA ORYU (1) gave a bold display over this course and distance last time, leading until the final stages and finishing fourth, beaten 1.2 lengths. Sure to give a sight.
