IMMORTEL (4) started at $1.60 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 10 lengths at this track over 1400m. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. MANI SCENE (9) had been in great form winning two on end before finishing third last time out over 1400m at this track. Hard to fault and can atone. AILES LA VICTOIRE (11) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months and is having her first outing under new trainer Yuya Yamazaki. Finished fifth at Chukyo Dirt over 1800m at the opening run last time in work. Can measure up at the first run for a new barn. MARILYN ASK (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 21 lengths. Strips fitter and can turn things around.
