Verdict

TOKUSHI KAGUYAHIME (2) was prominent from the outset when third over this track and trip last time out. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Expecting a bold showing. AMMIRAZIONE (9) was safely held on the JRA circuit two back then appreciated the easier company last time when second here. Finds a suitable assignment and is among the leading chances. ANTI JAMILA (7) resumes from a spell of ten weeks. Could only manage to finish sixth at the latest run over this journey at Niigata Dirt. Finds a much more suitable assignment this time. HEROIC BIO (12) met with solid support last time out but could only manage to finish seventh in a disappointing performance. Deserves another chance on best efforts.
