Very open affair. LEO AGILE (8) finished out of the money but was not too far away when resuming last start over 1400m at this track. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Will prove tough to beat with that run under the belt. INUBONO UTAGOE (2) made significant late ground last start to get up for third over 1400m at this track. Competitive at Grade 2 level the run before when fresh from a spell. One of the main contenders. GLORIOUS MARCH (10) comes here after finishing sixth at his latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Goes well at this trip, recording three minor placings. One of the prime contenders. GRIANMHAR (11) had support when resuming last time out but never threatened when a disappointing eighth, beaten 9 lengths, over 1600m at Nakayama. Christophe Lemaire sticks. Can play a role in the finish.
