DAICHINO NAPOLI (2) brings the most reliable profile, having worked home well for second at this track last start and already shown she handles this track and distance with one win and two placings from three tries. Her Open second two runs ago adds further substance, and she looks the horse they have to beat. MEISHO SHOKATSU (4) has been costly as favourite at both runs this campaign, but he was beaten less than a length last time and returns to a distance where his record is strong. SATONO AGUDO (3) has not missed a place in six starts and was beaten a nose at Hanshin, so his consistency keeps him firmly in the mix. LUCE BRILLARE (5) is lightly raced and has been well found in both Mdn runs; the first try around 1800m is the query, but her profile still gives her a genuine place path.
