CORONADO BRIDGE (3) is a promising colt yet to miss the frame after four starts, including two wins. Has led throughout to win last two. Low draw and will take catching fresh. KIKKO BELLO (12) settled towards the tail then wound up strongly to finish 2.5 lengths away in second when resuming last start over 2000m at Kokura. Solid top-three candidate.
