KADOBAN SOKOJIKARA (6) is a last start winner over 1400m at this track, making it three victories from three appearances this preparation. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Expecting a bold showing. TOSHO CLOUD (10) is close to a win at the fourth run back from a spell, the latest effort a second over 1500m at this track. Akihiro Yoshida stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on three occasions. Well placed and should be in the finish. EIGHT BEAT LETTER (2) was comfortably accounted for when fifth last start over 1500m here after a good first-up win at this track. Can bounce back. KAWAKITA ORGO (9) turned in a fine effort to win by half a length at this track and distance last start in a much improved run. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders.
