HOKUZAN CHOUCHOU (1) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 3.5 lengths at this track over 820m. Should measure up again. GOD AMAVEL (10) showed good early speed from the inside draw last time and led throughout to score by 5 lengths over 820m at this track. Shunya Hasebe who has scored on her four times retains the mount. Sure to run well. KUROAN (5) crossed from an outside draw last time to stalk the lead before drawing clear to win by a neck over 820m at this track. Will push forward and is among the chances again. CHAMPAGNE GLASSES (6) finished 10 lengths away in tenth at his last appearance over 820m at this track on November 27 after he gave away a big start. Worth plenty of thought.
