Verdict

MOZU MIKOSHI (12) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Kasamatsu over 1m. Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. KYOEI CEREZO (1) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Funabashi over 6f. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. QUEEN'S KAYANOHIME (6) drifted back over 7 ½f here last time before winding up late to finish seventh, beaten 4 lengths. Can play a role in the finish. MUNDI (7) has switched yards since finishing third six-and-a-half weeks ago over 1 ¹/16m at Nagoya.
