A P POETESS (7) Showed promise when winning by 1 1/4L last start at this track. Can't knock the form winning 2 in succession. Can go through the gears. Suitably placed in this race. GRAND WORLD (1) Ran well when 3rd last run at the track and drawn the rails. Has plenty of early speed. Ikkoo Tanaka stable are having a great run of late. Goes close. SHINZEN HACHIMAN (10) Threw down a serious challenge last run around here. Shingo Ooyama takes the reins today. Should be rolling forward early from the wide alley. Will be competitive. A SHIN PISSARRO (6) Disappointing outing when 9th last run at the track. Has early speed and positions nicely. Putting up notable efforts this preparation. Worth consideration.
