ELEKTRON (8) is the top pick after a better third at this track three weeks ago, beaten three and a half lengths after doing his best work late. The maiden record is the obvious reservation, but he has placed two of three at this venue and brings the right recent profile for this C2. KIMIGA ICHIBAN II (10) is a genuine danger, having run second at this track last start and owning a solid 1500m background with one win and four placings from 13 attempts around the trip. HANAIRO MAHINA (3) has the upside of a last-start win, charging home to score by a length and a half and retaining the rider who won on her. RINASCITA (4) was beaten as favourite over 900m last time, yet her previous three-length win and one-from-one record around 1500m keep her firmly in the place and winning conversation.
