Nakayama

HARD SELTZER (2) Put in a competitive run when placing 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L last time at the track and solid career start. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Right in this. JASPER SOLEIL (8) Was strong on the speed before fading to finish 2nd last time at this track. Should muster plenty of early speed. More confidence with jockey Yuga Kawada guiding the horse. Serious player. LAVA GLOW (3) Dashed home to win last time here and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Has a great burst of speed late. Not without claims. SHONAN HAKUUN (5) Came in 3rd last time here. Displaying good ability this campaign. Jockey Christophe Patrice Lemaire is a bonus. Chance.
