FIORE STRADA (7) was lining up for the hat trick of wins last start but finished a well-beaten second over 2000m at Fukushima. Rates highly against this field and can atone. BADDELEYTE (5) comes here off a break of ten weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 2000m at Hanshin, adding to a solid first-up record. Expect him to play a major role. DANON GIAN (4) is a strong first-up performer who is fresh from a spell of five months. Was in great form before the break with two consecutive wins, the latest over 1800m at Nakayama. Should park just off the speed and give backers a great sight. SHINZEN KAGA (2) resumes in a similar race to his last run five months ago when he scored by 0.8 lengths. Worth plenty of thought.
