SUZUKA MIERE (15) turned in a fair effort at Chukyo over 2200m at her last run five months ago, finishing fourth and beaten 2.5 lengths. Has won when fresh in the past. Sure to make her presence felt with Lemaire taking the ride. AWESOME YUNIBANSU (8) is still a maiden after 10 starts. Did a decent job to finish fourth last time out over 2200m at Chukyo following a minor placing at Fukushima when fresh from a spell the run prior. Cannot be left out of calculations. ASK DEAD HEAT (7) finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 2000m at Chukyo, an improvement on his first-up 12th at the same track the run before. Has the talent to find the winners' list. WIN LUXE (5) finished third last time over 2200m at Chukyo, beaten 3.5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. In the mix.
