TOKEN ARTHUR (11) is the horse to beat after another honest third at this track last start, beaten just over two lengths behind Petit Beans. Her broader 1000m record is much stronger than most of these, with four wins and 21 places from 64 starts at this track and distance, and Yoji Kamei has an established association with her. YAMATONO KAZE (8) has the sharper recent rating profile than his latest ninth suggests, as he was beaten just under four lengths behind Knight Spire and had been a close third to Tomono Tatsu Mi the start prior. The weight relief adds to his case. OHAMACHAN (1) brings the winning form, having scored by half a length over Arc Medina in C4 company last start, and her repeated placings at this track and distance give that result a solid base. HARETAHINI (3) has not quite finished off her past two runs, but she was only beaten just over three lengths last start and has enough track-and-trip grounding to press for a major share if she sustains the effort late.
