POD CROSS (1) is back from a break of four-and-a-half months. Only raced once last campaign which was a narrow defeat over 2200m at Nakayama. Placed 2/2 fresh-up. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal while fresh. PORTO FELIZ (9) is back from a break of 12 weeks. Only raced once last campaign which was a narrow defeat over 2400m at Tokyo. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Leading contender. MEINER AURUM (2) comes here off a break of 12 weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 2000m at this track. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. VISION MAKER (4) was last at the races when he finished second over 2400m at Tokyo on February 15. Definite top-three chance.
