PRIME BLUE (10) is racing well. Scored at this track two back then finished third, beaten half a length, over 1200m at this track at the latest appearance three weeks ago. Has been in the top three at all six starts here, including four wins. Sure to go well. BIG PHU KAO (3) returns after a spell of five months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1200m at Ohi. Has a solid first-up record of two wins and three placings from six starts. Has switched to the Masakazu Kawashima yard. Should be hard to stop. TASSEL (6) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing fourth and only 2.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 1200m. Likely improver with strong prospects. CASTLE AILE (7) last appeared when she scored over 1400m at Urawa on August 18. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
