DAIGO HOMARE RYU (12) was narrowly beaten at a huge quote last time out, finishing second over 1500m at this track. Expecting another bold showing. ZINGER (2) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when fourth over 1500m at this track, beaten 8 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Finds an easier assignment and can return to winning ways. AKANE SEIKO (11) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at Urawa over 1500m. Best figures measure up nicely. Can do a lot better. TYPEFACE (14) was well in the market when resuming last start but failed to threaten when a disappointing 11th at Urawa over 1400m. Should park just off the speed. Don't underestimate.
