SUN CAPRICE (4) built on a nice second two starts back with a win over 1400m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 2 lengths. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. MATTHEW (12) finished 13th over 2100m at Tokyo Dirt at his most recent appearance on November 1. Has switched to the Satoshi Kokubo yard. Rates highly and should take some beating. RASIEL (1) resumes today after filling a minor placing at her only appearance last prep at Funabashi over 1600m on October 1. Lining up today for the first time for trainer Takashi Mizuno. Sure to make her presence felt. STOIC NOAH (10) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign to finish second over 1400m at this track. The engagement of Takayuki Yano is noteworthy. Finds a nice race and can secure another top-three finish.
