SATONO AGUDO (3) Missed by a narrow margin last start at Hanshin. Has not missed the placings this preparation in 2 attempts. Appears well in this. BLACK SHALIMAR (8) First up and right up there first up last preparation at this track. Won't be far away during the run. Showing consistent performance in races. Goes very close. MEISHO SHOKATSU (4) Improved when 4th last time around here. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Respect against this field. LUCE BRILLARE (5) Kept chasing when 4th last time at Hanshin but will be down in distance. Has a great burst of speed late. Could pose a threat and looks promising.
