CREDO (10) has been thereabouts without winning, the most recent offering a third at this track over 1200m when he was beaten 1.5 lengths. Norifumi Mikamoto has registered three minor placings when on board. Sure to play a big role. ABENIN SMILE (1) finished fourth last start over 1400m at Urawa after racing on the pace for much of the way. Sure to be prominent from the outset. QUIETISME (4) turned in a fair effort at this track over 1200m at his last run four months ago, finishing fourth and beaten 0.8 lengths. Has a strong first-up record, scoring on two occasions from four starts. Looks a strong top-three prospect. D J SUN (7) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 12 lengths into ninth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
