COSMO GOOD LUCK (4) was well fancied last start over 1500m at Funabashi when third, beaten 2.75 lengths. Winning rider Ryo Novata sticks. Expecting a bold showing. RANDY (1) was high in the betting on the back of some good lead-up form but disappointed when beaten 4.5 lengths into fifth at his last run three-and-a-half months ago over 2000m at this track. Has a win and two minor placings from four starts at this track and distance. A bold showing is likely. MUCHA SUERTE (3) returned from a spell a month ago when he was beaten 15 lengths into 12th over 1500m at Funabashi. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he cannot be taken lightly. KIMITO YUMEOKAKERU (2) ran below expectations last start, finishing eighth and beaten 13 lengths at Kawasaki over 1600m. Worth another chance.
