Verdict

EN CLOCHE (5) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 4 lengths at this track. Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and two placings. Should be prominent from the outset. Likely to feature. HANACHIRUSATO (1) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at Kawasaki, most recently beaten 1.5 lengths into second over 7 ½f at this track when she was prominent throughout. Facing a tougher assignment but she is good enough to take this out. TOSEN PENELOPE (2) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths over 7 ½f at this track. Tsubasa Sasagawa scored on her last time and retains the mount. Stepping up a level this time but on current form she is capable of another big performance. FUBUKI (7) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time out over 7f at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Expect a better run this time.
