LINE OF SOUL (6) earns top billing after resuming with a two-length A3 win at this track, beating Switchblade and confirming he handles this venue. The step to 2000m is the main question after two unplaced tries around the trip, but he has a stronger winning platform than most and the first-up result reads well. UP SHOGUN (11) is the clear danger on overall profile, with nine wins and six places from 19 starts at this track and a strong record with Seigo Tsukamoto, though 2000m is new territory. SEESAW GAME (10) brings reliable depth, having placed at Sonoda last start and built a four-win, six-place record from 16 starts overall. BOX OFFICE (9) has to rebound from a plain sixth as a fancied runner, but his previous four-length A1 win at this track keeps him in the mix.
