CHEERFUL VOICE (9) finished 0.8 lengths from the winner in second in a much better run last time at this track over 1200m. Should be prominent from the outset. Best form puts her right in this. SANEI CONDOR (8) was unwanted in betting last time but scored by 1.5 lengths over 1600m at this track. Can measure up again. APOLLO PLANET (1) turned in a modest performance when fifth last time out over 1600m at this track after a win at Mizusawa at the previous outing. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. VIP AKUA (7) went forward over 1600m at this track last time but found one better. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and four minor placings from nine starts. Minor claims.
