TOSHIKUN (8) brings the strongest winning profile, with three wins and two placings from seven starts overall and a perfect top-three record from four runs at this track and distance. He was beaten four and a half lengths as odds-on favourite last start, but the broader 1400m record and third-up setting give him the clearest platform to rebound. INJECTION (3) has a compelling jockey angle with Tomohiro Yoshimura back aboard, having five wins and five placings from eleven rides on him, and his third behind Himalaya Musa last start was a sound return to form. MIKO CASTANA (6) is the in-form danger after a six-length C3 win from Sakura Top Seller and a half-length second to Nothing Better, though she was beaten at short odds-on last time. PATROL RUN (1) has recent form to tidy up, but the weight relief and three wins at this track and distance keep him a genuine place hope if he sharpens back to 1400m.
