DUAL SIGN (6) earns top billing after taking a clear step forward at Hanshin, where he was second to Segno Regale and beaten just under a length after giving a sight late. He is race fit now, has already placed at this distance and brings the strongest recent profile. DON CRUSH (2) looks the main danger off a sound debut in a NEWCOMER at this track, closing nicely for second behind Cutie Bond and now getting into Mdn company with scope to improve. SPRECHCHOR (5) has two placings from four starts and was close behind Luz Solar two runs back, but his latest fifth behind Segno Regale left him with ground to make up on Dual Sign. CORSARO (1) was plain first-up at this venue, yet his earlier Niigata fourth gives him enough foundation to be competitive if the untried 1600m brings a sharper response.
