G T POWER (5) is the top selection, with the market leaning on a fresh local reset rather than his plain late-campaign Chukyo Dirt figures. He resumes from three months away, has not raced at around 1500m before, but the booking of Soichi Kato and his less exposed profile at this venue give him the most upside if he can leave that ALLOW form behind. CADENA BONITA (10) has the strongest recent win, having led and beaten Meiner Slava by a length and a half at this track over the trip as favourite, and her one win and one placing from three starts at this track and distance read well. PIKO REVE (2) is the reliable form runner after a C1 win from Lucky Vogue and a narrow COND second to Noble Queendom, with two wins and two places from seven starts at this track and distance. STRADONE (12) is hard to fault for consistency, coming off a length-and-a-half C8 win and owning a perfect top-three record from five starts at this track and distance.
