CHATS KHAN (7) is the one to beat, having placed in two of four starts and kept safe in betting when sixth last time here, beaten by just under five lengths. His second to O.K. Baby at Busan prior offers a solid foundation, and Masa Tanaka's strong record supports his case. RUSH WILD (3) poses a clear threat after winning by eight lengths from Northern Queen two starts ago and holding third at Busan, beaten by under two lengths. She's returning to a distance where her overall record is strong and looks well placed third-up. SHACKLE SUN (8) has a direct line to Chats Khan after beating him here three weeks ago, and his second to Shackle Laud showed merit despite market neglect. DOCTOR CASTLE (5) needs to bounce back from a poor run at Busan, but his prior second at this track and established 1400m form keep him in the minor-winning mix.
