COMME LE VENT (3) gets the nod on the strength of a win two starts back, when she beat Samburu by a length at this venue, and a last-start fourth that was better than the beaten margin after she closed from a hopeless-looking spot. Her record around 1400m is the strongest profile in the field and the winning rider returns. HIMEKAMINO ITADAKI (7) is the obvious danger after consecutive seconds, beaten a neck by Black Orange then a length by Tani Noble, and he had Comme Le Vent behind him in the latest of those. GARDEN PLANNER (9) has to lift off two plain runs, but she returns to a distance where her record is sound enough to keep her among the fringe winning hopes if the main pair underperform. LIGHT THREE (4) was plain when second last behind Tani Noble, yet his previous second to Slaylar and two wins at 1400m make him a genuine place hope with some bounce-back appeal.
