DAIEI BILBERRY (1) doesn't win out of turn but left a good impression last time out when beaten a neck into second over 900m at Kawasaki. Has a high cruising speed. Best figures should see her run well. MARUNO KOKI (8) finished tenth at this track and distance at his last appearance nine weeks ago. Rates highly and should take some beating. KANADERU (6) has not won for a long while. Last raced on May 27 when beaten 8 lengths into fifth at this track over 800m. Likely improver with strong prospects. ANTAGONISTA (3) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at Ohi, beaten 7 lengths into seventh. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
