DANCING CRY (12) was an impressive winner last time over 800m at this track, leading throughout and putting 3 lengths on her rivals. One of the top chances again. RYUNO SHINKUHA (6) finds it hard to win with just one success from 16 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 900m at Kawasaki, beaten 3 lengths. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. NISHINO CLAUDIA (10) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish third over 1200m at Funabashi. Good record at this journey with four wins and a placing from seven starts and shapes as one to consider. DERMA CARMILLA (7) finished second at Kawasaki two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 900m at Kawasaki, finishing 16 lengths back in tenth. Finds a nice race and can atone.
