SUN LEGATO (3) sets the standard after a solid second at this track last start, beaten two and a half lengths by Sonic Isle, and his overall profile at 1400m is the strongest in the race. He has placed twice from two starts at this distance and twice from two at this venue, so the conditions line up well. FIORIAMO (12) is the main danger after resuming with a second at this track, beaten three lengths by Sydney Harbour, and she has already placed at both the course and distance. BLUE DROP (8) resumes after a debut second at Nakayama, where she was run down late after starting near the top of an open market, and that gives her a genuine winning platform if she returns in the same order. DOMINATOR (11) was close up fourth at Niigata last start, only a length and a half from Sanono Kiseki, and the booking of Takeshi Yokoyama adds another solid element to his case.
