TAKARA BADIUS (6) is back at the races for the first time since November 29. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at this track. Comes here with definite claims. LUMINEUX FILLE (8) met with solid support last start over 800m at Urawa when sixth, beaten 5 lengths. Extra trip a plus so worth another chance. POD GLASS (12) is due to win after just missing last time over 1200m at this track, finishing just a neck from the winner in third. In-form four-year-old entire so he is high among the chances. SCOVILLE (9) was beaten a head into second at this track two starts ago then finished 3 lengths from the winner in fifth last time at this track. Has ability and rates among the chances.
