KOTORINO SAEZURI (6) sets the standard after resuming with a controlled two-length win at this track as a well-supported favourite, beating Bell Wood Moa and confirming her strong 1200m credentials. Her three wins and one placing from five starts at this track and distance give her the most reliable profile among the main hopes. BOBBY (3) appeals as the danger after going within just under a length of Mesmerise last start at big odds, and that effort reads well against Ayasan Jolene and Wild Nobukun. The win is still missing from his record, but his latest run was a clear winning pointer. AYASAN JOLENE (12) was favourite in the same race and finished fourth, just over a length away, after winning a B4 at Mombetsu two starts back. She has the class of form to answer back. WILD NOBUKUN (5) was only just under two lengths from Mesmerise and was closing from a long way back, while his track-and-distance win keeps him firmly in the conversation.
