KISHAR (5) sets the standard after a narrow second at this track three weeks ago, beaten a neck by Tana V Hachi Turbo and closing off strongly. Her profile is clean for this: one win and two placings from five starts, proven at this distance and already a winner at this venue. MAKE ONE'S DAY (16) is the main danger despite being safely held at Hanshin last time, because his previous third at Chukyo reads well and he has one win and three placings from six starts around 1400m. ARABIAN JOY (7) has to turn around a recent margin on Kishar, but her fifth at this track was only just over half a length away and she made late ground from an awkward position. DANON BRANDNEW (8) brings depth through a recent Niigata fifth and has placed two times from three starts at this track, although seven tries at this trip without a win keeps the 1400m question in play.
