ITOSHINO FURSA (9) sets the standard after going under by only a neck to Mozu Heart at this track last start, and her record of four placings from five starts gives her the most reliable form profile. She has also placed in all four runs around this track and distance, so the conditions look ideal for her to break through. YAKUMO FLORA (5) is the main danger, with her last-start fifth behind Mozu Heart better than it may read given she started at long odds and was beaten just over five lengths. The query is that she has only one placing from four goes around this distance, but she has enough race experience to be a winning threat. DINO ENJU (3) was disappointing when sixth after being near the top of betting, yet her debut third showed enough to keep her in the mix third-up. GOLD BREGUET (7) has placed twice from three runs at this track and distance, and although last start's third came at big odds and by a wide margin, that local-distance record keeps him in the place conversation.
