THOR HAMMER (9) did his best work late to score by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1200m at this track at the second run of the campaign. Can make it back-to-back wins. HO O JUBILEE (4) doesn't win out of turn but left a good impression last time out when beaten 0.8 lengths into second over 1200m at this track. Settles back early but winds up late. One of the leading chances. STOIC NOAH (1) has been in the money at his last couple of runs but struggling to break through, the latest effort a second over 1400m at Urawa. Has an impressive winning strike-rate at this distance. Genuine contender. BREZZA DREAM (3) didn't do a bad job when third last start over 1200m at this track. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
