PLAUDITS (1) is the top pick off a two-start profile that has already shown quality and reliability, winning on debut at Nakayama before fighting hard when second in an ALLOW there as an odds-on favourite. The eight-month gap is the clear qualification, but one win and one place from two tries at the distance gives her the right base to resume strongly. SUNSET VIEW (9) has race fitness on her side third-up and was sound when fifth at this track, beaten two and a half lengths at big odds, with ratings support over the last 12 months. INNISFAIL (18) resumes from six months off having won at this venue and distance before the break, and his three-start record gives him genuine upside despite the outside barrier. RED REGALIA (11) remains a maiden, but four placings from five starts and two placings from three at around 2000m keep him firmly in the winning mix if he returns sharper than his latest sixth at Niigata.
