VELARE (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 2 lengths into fourth. This doesn't look as hard so he is one of the main contenders. SAYONO FIELD (10) is having his first run since February 8. Goes well when fresh with two wins and two placings from seven starts. Capable of playing a major role. MIND YOUR MIMOSA (14) improved sharply on her sixth two starts back at this track with success over 2000m at Urawa three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 2 lengths. Likely to be there at the finish again. POD LEO (11) finished tenth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1000m at Funabashi, beaten 5 lengths. No surprise to see him in the frame.
