NOBISHIRO (4) was an impressive winner last time over 1200m at this track, leading throughout and putting 3.5 lengths on his rivals. Haruto Nakayama who has two wins when partnering stays on. Expecting a bold showing. TAKANO DREAM (14) made progress last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1200m at this track. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp. PROUD MARY (12) is ready to win after collecting her fifth minor placing in a row last time over 1200m at this track. Proven performer at this circuit with minor placings at all four runs. Expected to run well. PICK AND ROLL (5) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing third and beaten 1.75 lengths. Well placed and should be about the money.
