SARAKOSTH (16) doesn't have the best strike rate but ran a nice race when resuming from a spell last time out over 2000m at Kyoto, finishing second and beaten 1.3 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. PORTO FELIZ (8) is a handy type who resumes after a break of 18 months. Only appeared once last prep when she finished seventh over 2400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Scored maiden this course and distance two back. Expected to play a major role. MEINER AURUM (9) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 1.1 lengths when fourth over 2000m at Niigata a week ago. Long time maiden but going much better than form suggests. Likely improver with strong prospects. JERONIMOS (4) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing fifth over 2000m at Kyoto. Top-three prospects.
