HUJUM (4) didn't do a bad job when fourth last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths after he made late ground. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. TAVANESTAN (9) showed good speed last time out and fought on well when second over 1500m at this track. Can cross and take up a prominent position. Ryo Novata has registered three minor placings when on board. Leading contender. HOYO MOON (7) was a long way back last start but hit the line well to finish fifth, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 1800m at Funabashi. Among the chances. GARNIER (2) is struggling to find the winners' circle but has been around the mark, last start finishing third over 1500m at this track. Nicely drawn and an each way hope.
