AZURE CURRENTS (2) is the one to beat after backing up a C8 win from Antilia with a C3 third at this track, beaten just over three lengths as a short odds-on favourite. She has never missed a place in three starts at this venue and her record with Soichi Kato adds another solid layer to the case. ASHOKA (12) appeals as the danger despite finishing only fourth behind Anfar last start, as that came in C3 company at big odds and he now gets weight relief with two wins and seven placings from 22 previous starts around 1500m. DREAM TRIP (4) has been beaten as a short odds-on favourite at both runs this campaign, but the margins were a neck and a length, and four wins from seven starts at this track and distance make her hard to dismiss third-up. BROKEN HEART (8) won a C1 two runs ago before a fair fourth behind Barfleur, and her small-sample track-and-distance record keeps her in the main place mix.
