MEISHO SOLAR (3) has the most persuasive recent line, winning a C3 at this track by a length and a half from Nagano King Dia before finishing second to Red Sedona, beaten three lengths, when near the top of an open market. He is one from three at this track and distance and has already beaten a key rival. NAGANO KING DIA (8) is the immediate danger after justifying odds-on support with a two-length win from Hana Murasaki, and the Junki Mochizuki record of two wins from three rides adds substance, though he has to turn around the recent Meisho Solar result. FAINT LIGHT (10) bounced back sharply when second to Oh Bravo and gets in with 52kg, making her a genuine winning player if she holds that level. SHINGUN RAO (2) is not as sharp as the first three but his third last start and one win and three places from seven starts at this track and distance keep him in the mix.
