DANON BOOGIE (12) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 6 lengths away in sixth over 1600m at Tokyo on November 29 which was the only run of that prep. Goes well when fresh including a win and one minor placings. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Expecting a bold showing. PIETANZA (5) has been in the market at her last couple of starts since resuming but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing fifth over 1600m at this track. Rates highly in this line up. Gets her chance. DIAMOND HANDS (15) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his only appearance last prep at Chukyo over 1600m on August 25 2024. Years since a win but goes best fresh. Look for a bold run. DANON CHROM (7) is back after a break of 12 weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1400m at this track. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
