PRETTY PEARL (10) was a determined winner two back then raced on the speed last time before finishing second over 1700m at this track. Has a very good record here with three wins from six starts. Likely to feature. DAICHI RAFALE (5) drew wide and was pretty plain last time despite solid market support when 6 lengths from the winner in fifth at this course and distance. Can bounce back. FUJI FANTASISTA (8) made considerable ground in the run home to finish third last start over 920m at this track. Has a good record here at this journey, including two wins. One of the main contenders. NOBLE COCKTAIL (9) was unwanted in betting last start but performed beyond expectations when beaten a nose into second over 1500m at this track. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. One of the better hopes.
