DOROMPA (1) won his maiden over this course and distance last start, getting the verdict by half a length. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Winning rider Tsutsui Yusuke stays aboard and he is a key runner. ORE OSU (8) is a promising type still in his first campaign but off to a great start to his career. Placed last time over 1400m at this track but prior to that put together two wins on end. Looks a definite danger again. MICHAEL (4) was out of the money last start over 1400m at this track when seventh. The engagement of Junki Mochizuki is noteworthy. Finds an easier assignment and can find winning form. AMERICAN VICKY (9) improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track. This looks a good race for her so another forward showing looks likely.
