ATAGO TENJIN (6) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 4 lengths at this track over 900m. Tsubasa Sasagawa who has scored on him four times retains the mount. Best form puts him right in this. SMOKIN' BILLY (7) stalked the pace when resuming at this track and trip last start then worked to the line steadily to finish third. Sure to be thereabouts. NEVER END MARCH (3) kicked off this campaign with a win two runs ago. Less impressive last time out when sixth over 900m at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. HI BARBIE (4) finished fifth last time out over 900m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Boasts a win and two minor placings from four starts at this track and distance. Strong top-three chance.
