JUSTIN POWER (7) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when third at this track over 1600m, beaten 0.6 lengths. Cherry-ripe now. Tsubasa Sasagawa who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Well placed and should be in the finish. NOBLE MARCHE (3) finished out of the money two starts back then she settled well back and was beaten 4.5 lengths when 13th over 1400m at Chukyo two months ago. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. MOZU YUGA (10) scored at this track last time out with 0.8 lengths in reserve at the end of 1600m. Boasts six wins here. Winning rider Shunsuke Ishikawa sticks. One of the contenders. VALTARI (1) had been racing well with three consecutive placings before last start managing only fourth over 1800m at this track. Form at this track is solid. Can sneak into the finish.
