FORTITUDE (7) brings the most reliable profile, with seven wins and eight places from 18 starts and a recent campaign built around narrow defeats in stronger company. She was beaten a length and a half at Funabashi before a close second at this track, and her 900m record gives her the right platform fresh. LA LA AVRIL (8) is the clear danger after beating Monge Spy by two lengths at this track and distance when well fancied, although he now has to repeat that rating. DAIMEI TAMANA (2) appeals on his excellent 900m record and the return of Koshi Yoshidome, despite a plain Urawa run last start. PINK TOWEL CHAN (1) closed off strongly at long odds first-up and had been beaten only a head at this venue before that, so she has enough substance for a genuine placing push.
