DIAMOND KNOT (5) First up and came in 3rd first up last preparation at this venue. Should come to hand quickly. Yuga Kawada is a plus. Rates well in this race. NAMURA HINAGIKU (3) Gave ground late when 6th last start at Chukyo. Likely to be well placed early. Can fill a place in this field. JOKER (7) Crept into 4th last start at Chukyo and fitter for debut run. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Consider an each way bet. T O AL AIN (8) Came in 4th last start at Chukyo but was a debutant last start. Tatsuya Watanabe is a bonus. Capable of a running a place.
