ESORA (11) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by a neck last time out over 1500m at Funabashi. Should park just off the speed despite a difficult draw. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ALEGRIA CITY (4) was flying with two wins in a row before being sent out favourite last time and finishing sixth over 1500m at this track. Has a solid record at this circuit. Should run well. ROTTURA (7) finished 14th two runs back at Funabashi then improved last time out to score by 2 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn over 2000m at this track. Has the talent to figure prominently. SIGIRIYA (12) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1400m at this track. Worth plenty of thought.
