SILVER SADDLE (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1500m at Urawa, beaten 6 lengths into sixth. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. BELLEEK (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into fourth. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. ODEN RICKEY (4) ran below expectations last time at Funabashi, finishing ninth and beaten 9 lengths starting at $6. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. EPITAXY (3) finished 9 lengths adrift in ninth last time over 1500m at Funabashi in a disappointing performance. Finds a nice race and can atone.
