STRAWBERRY TREE (1) is a talented filly who has been in the money at both appearances. Has not been produced since she scored over 1800m at Sapporo on August 23. Should be prominent from the outset. Likely to feature. BLAENAVON (3) was too good for a maiden field last start over 2000m at Kyoto, scoring by 3.5 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Seinosuke Yoshimura was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Progressing well so worth following up. CORONADO BRIDGE (7) looks to launch this prep the way he ended the last three months ago when he scored over 2000m at this track. One of the better chances. BERESHIT (8) is back from a spell of five months. Won on debut at the only appearance last prep, scoring in a 1800m contest at Kokura by half a length. One of the contenders.
