KING BULLSEYES (7) was an impressive winner last time over 2000m at this track, leading throughout and putting 6 lengths on his rivals. Has a formidable combination with Tsubasa Sasagawa who has been aboard for his last two wins. Likely to feature. HATANO LA TOUR (6) was safely held when 11th last time out over 1500m at Funabashi, beaten 13 lengths. That followed a win at Funabashi at the previous outing. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. NISHINO MESSIAH (10) is back after a break of five months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 2000m at this track. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. NATSUWA YORU (9) was below her best last time when 14th over 1500m at Kawasaki, beaten 15 lengths. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
