SNARK DALI (4) Fresh today after a break of 43 weeks. Looked good when 3rd last time at Sonoda but back in trip. Respect against this field. G T TRUE (6) Average at best when 8th last start at Sonoda. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Tracking very well this preparation. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. T O TEBALDI (7) Placed 2nd last start at Sonoda. Always seems to find the line well. Well placed and has solid claims. MERRY SENSE (8) First up from a spell. Ran 2nd last time at Sonoda. Jockey Komaki Futoshi and trainer Masamichi Kashihara are a proven combination. Goes close.
