I NORMAL (3) is a son of Contrail from the Gr 1 winner Stellar Agent who makes his debut. Tough ask against a field of runners with race experience but they are nothing special. Bright prospects from an inside gate. SEKITEI LINO (13) missed the placings two starts back when resuming then ran a better race and finished 2.25 lengths away in fourth last time out over 2000m at Fukushima after being in the firing line on the bend. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. AMANHECER (15) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 2000m at Fukushima, beaten 2.75 lengths. Placed to advantage and can take this out. SONIC BOOM (1) was prominent into the straight last time but faltered late to finish 8 lengths away in sixth over 2200m at Chukyo. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around.
