SOUND TUTU (10) Resuming after a spell. In the money when 3rd last run at Sonoda and strong performer at this distance in the past. Better hope. YODONO TAIYO (12) Finished 5th last time at Funabashi. Happy to overlook that run but down in trip. Has very good closing speed. Tomohiro Yoshimura is a suitable booking. Key player. PINK MARGARITA (5) Finished 5th last time here. Should muster plenty of early speed. Serei Sasaki is a key engagement. Well placed and has solid claims. LA LA MONT D'OR (9) Was fighting out the finish when winning last time at this venue and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Producing consistent results this preparation. Looks to have a good chance of placing.
