GRACE CARILLON (2) continues to race well with a win two back at Urawa before finishing 1.5 lengths away in second last time over 1400m at Urawa. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Will play a major role. HUJUM (1) turned in a fine effort to win by a head at today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. YUME DREAM (7) finished third last time over 1600m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. CANAL SHOHEI (5) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at this track over 1600m after being handy for much of the way. Likely improver who should be about the money.
