WALKIN (3) broke through for his maiden win over 1400m at this track last time, scoring comfortably. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Drawn well close to the inside and he is a key runner. YAGIRI DREAM (5) did little and finished 4.5 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1200m at Funabashi last start after being prominent at the corner, a less impressive effort than his first-up fourth at Funabashi the run before. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. DAIBA YATAGARASU (8) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1200m at Funabashi. In a suitable race and can figure in the finish. POWDER SNOW (4) ran a better race last start, finishing 3.5 lengths away in fourth over 1200m at Funabashi. Capable of featuring prominently.
