BOCCIO (3) gets top honors after a strong recent win, finishing powerfully to defeat Conduct O Harae by a length and a half in a C2 at this track. Prior, she showed promise despite a long defeat, indicating her form is improving, and she's already won here at this distance. BAJIGAKU CHAMO (6) has the best overall record with three wins and one placing from four starts at this track and distance, finishing second to Svarog as an odds-on favorite last time out. His five-month break is a concern, but a previous seven-length win over Horaisho is impressive. K TWO KIP (5) remains a maiden, but a third to Joyful Sunday offers a foundation in a race where many lack winning form. CONTI AFTERNOON (7) returns after a two-month break, having placed fourth to Dona Dona, and brings valuable 1400m experience, positioning her as a credible threat if she maintains form.
