TAISEI MARSHAL (9) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 1.5 lengths over 1200m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with three wins from four outings. Top chance again. SEKITEI RARE (6) last appeared when fourth over 1200m at this track four-and-a-half months ago. Comes here with definite claims. TOSEN GENIAL (5) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished third at Kawasaki two starts back then scored by 1.5 lengths as public elect last time out over 1500m at Urawa. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he deserves plenty of thought. LOOKS LIKE YOU (2) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1200m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Must raise the bar but he has the talent to test this line-up.
