DATENO SHOGUN (4) First up and left nothing to chance when winning by 3/4L first up last preparation at this venue. Jockey Norifumi Mikamoto has a high strike rate on board. Right in the thick of it and is a major player. OPINION LEADER (10) Placed 3rd last start at Kawasaki. Jockey Masaaki Kuwamura and trainer Satoshi Kokubo have a solid working relationship. Expect to go close. MUT KURVE (8) Narrowly beaten last run around here. In a purple patch of form since returning from a break. Winning hope. NANSEI WHITE (12) First up from a spell. Came in 6th last run at Funabashi. Can make a comeback and hard to fault at this distance. Has the ability to figure.
