HOYO MOON (11) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months and is having her first outing under new trainer Yutaka Nagatomo. Finished 16th at Chukyo over 1400m at the opening run last time in work. Well-placed and sure to feature. ICHIGO WHIP (10) showed early speed from an outside draw last time out and led for much of the way before finding one better at the end of 1500m at Urawa. Takes catching. TAISEI LE CIEL (6) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing fourth and only 1.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 1500m. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SCHWEIGEN (14) doesn't win out of turn but ran a nice race last time out over 1500m at this track, finishing third and beaten 0.7 lengths. Should take beating.
