Verdict

KAGAYAKU NEGAI (3) is yet to break through after six career starts. Managed to find the placings at this track two starts back before finishing fifth over 7 ½f at this track last start. Can break through in this suitable contest. INFER REVE (7) was in the money two starts back at this track then missed the frame but was not too far away last time over 7f at Urawa. Nicely placed to open his account. MAROON DRIVE (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7 ½f at this track, beaten 13 lengths into seventh. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. SHISHI FUNJIN (9) turned in a better run last start, beaten 5 lengths into fifth over 7f at Urawa. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
