Verdict

CELLIST (4) has really found form this campaign scoring two wins on end, including an effortless 4 lengths win over 7 ½f at Nagoya last time. Should go close if runs up to latest. PRIYANKA (8) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell, finishing 18th over 6f at Niigata. Now under the care of new trainer Shinji Kobayashi. Can play a major role. DAITA VALKYRIE (6) missed the placings last start when seventh over 6f at Funabashi. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is one of the key runners. CRAZY HORSE (3) was seventh over 6 ½f at this track five weeks ago. Best efforts measure up and worth another chance.
