NEVER SAY GOODBYE (3) Strong performance to win by 1 1/2L last start here. Osamu Shimohara has multiple wins aboard. Has run into the money 4 from 4 attempts this campaign. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. AI TOWA (4) Was a comprehensive winner by 4L last time at the track and proven performer at this trip in the past. Ikkoo Tanaka has been training plenty of winners recently. Underrated. LUNAR PHANTOM (7) Winner by 1 1/2L last run here. Tomohiro Yoshimura adds value. This field suits. ETRE DOUE (6) Won by a big margin of 3L last start around here and form has been improving over recent runs. Looks a great place bet.
