MAJOR YELL (9) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of seven months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 800m at this track. Looks the one to beat. YUYU GLUCK (12) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at this track three-and-a-half months ago. One of the leading chances. RYUNO ARDERN (10) is fitter for two runs back from a spell and has been in the placings at both appearances, the latest when second over 900m at Kawasaki. Fitter and a solid top-three hope again. CHARIS IMON (5) was below her best last time, finishing sixth and beaten 3.5 lengths over 1200m at Funabashi. Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects.
