KITANO AMAPOLA (7) had been in top form landing two consecutive wins but last start was just edged out when runner-up over 1500m at this track. Hard to fault and can find winning form again. WILD DUNK (10) was a determined winner two back then raced on the speed last time before finishing third over 1500m at this track. Has sound form at this track and distance with a win and two minor placings from four runs. Leading contender. HOSHO DIVA (1) is a eight-start maiden who was close to a win before a five months break, finishing off with a minor placing at this track. Aided by the rails draw. Leading player on best figures - bold showing expected. KITANO JAUNE (3) met with solid support last time out but could only manage to finish tenth over 1500m at Funabashi in a disappointing performance. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time.
