AMERICAN BAR (4) Resumes from a 53 week spell. Dictated terms in front to win by 1/2L last start at the track and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Can go on with it. LORD ARDITO (3) Picked up some late ground when 4th last run at Sapporo. Jockey Christophe Lemaire is a bonus. Finishes off strongly. Appears well in this. RED FRASER (7) Put a gap on the rest when winning by 4L last run around here. Performing impressively this campaign. Has to be strongly considered. LILY THUNDER (12) Came in 3rd last start at Tokyo City Keiba. Has good closing speed. Capable of better.
