OKEN DUKE (4) was in a different class last time, registering a dominant 3 lengths win over 2000m at this track to make it two in a row. Form at this distance is strong with two wins from four starts and is among the leading chances. HENNY'S NEPHEW (9) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths as public elect over 2000m at this track. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running another bold race. GOUVERNAIL (1) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when a neck away in second over 2000m at Urawa when he was prominent throughout. Finds a perfect assignment and can get the job done. GINYUSHIJIN (3) was below his best last time, finishing 11th over 1600m at this track. Well placed and should be in the mix.
