YAMANIN LESEDI (8) Rocketed home when winning last time around here and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Jockey Ryuto Yokoyama and trainer Kodai Hasegawa form a proven partnership. Up to these. WINE COOLER (5) Finished hard to win last start around here and suited at this trip historically. In good racing form since coming back from a break. Can win this. COUNTER SEVEN (1) Outmuscled in the late stages of the race when 5th last time around here and gets a favourable gate. Has plenty of early speed. Underrated. LA LA AVRIL (11) Tired late when 4th last start at the track. Displays good tactical speed. Producing consistent results since coming back from a spell. Gets a chance to win.
