Weak race where GIOIELLO (5) gets chance. Has recorded three minor placings from three starts this preparation, the latest when third as a well-fancied conveyance over 1800m at Kyoto. The one to beat. EVER GROOVE (6) resumes. Wasn't far away at last run before a break, finishing fourth over 2000m at this track ten weeks ago. Good record course and distance and has form fresh. Capable of playing a major role. YAMANIN GALASSIA (8) was prominent at the bend and finished second last time over 1800m at Nakayama when resuming from a spell, beaten one length. Eternity since a win but nice return and will give a sight. WIN LIBERATION (1) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 4 lengths into sixth over 1800m at Kyoto. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.
