CURREN ALCANTARA (8) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 4 lengths as public elect over 2000m at Kawasaki. Goes up a rung or two but he is worth serious consideration. TIME MOMENT (7) did well last time to finish third over 1400m at Ohi. Has 10 wins at the trip. Sure to be thereabouts. JO ESPOIR (1) is a strong fresh performer back after a break of ten weeks and looking to emulate his win at Urawa to kick off the last campaign. Likely to take beating. MILLE NUITS (2) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1750m at Saga, beaten a neck. Should take a lot from that hit-out. In the right race and is worth serious consideration.
