GLETSCHER (8) scored by 5 lengths over this distance at this track last time out when returning from a break. Has a strong record this course, scoring at seven of 13 starts. One of the major players. A SHIN LORO (2) is going well and is knocking on the door, last time out finishing second over 1400m at this track and only 2 lengths from the winner. Ryo Fujita has registered two minor placings when on board. Sure to play a big role. REGINA COELI (9) failed to live up to market expectations last start when out of the placings over 1400m at Kasamatsu, beaten 15 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. BAY STATE (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into sixth. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
