MIZUIRO AUDAX (2) recorded a strong maiden win over 1400m at Urawa last time, getting there by 1.5 lengths. Drawn well close to the inside and she can go on with it. KUNINO LIFE (8) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1200m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. THESAURUS (4) will find this a little easier than his second on debut four weeks ago, beaten 4 lengths at the end of 1200m at this track. Likely improver so another bold showing is expected. AYASAN FLASH (1) ran a better race when second-up last start, finishing 8 lengths away in fifth over 1200m at this track. Better than recent efforts suggest.
