Kokura

POTECHI (10) Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Brave effort to win narrowly by 1/2L last start at Kasamatsu and returning to an increased distance. Change in trainer. Has to be included. AWESOME YUNIBANSU (8) Outpaced some runners late when 4th last run at Chukyo. Always seems to find the line well. Respect in this event. SUZUKA MIERE (15) Resuming after a spell. Showed some merit late when 4th last start at Chukyo. Gains the services of jockey Christophe Lemaire. Goes very close. DISPARAR (1) Felt the pinch late when 8th last run at Chukyo and has a nice advantage with a good gate. Likely to get back in the run. Knockout chance in this.
