Verdict

GOLD CARRERA (4) gets the nod on the strength of his course form and the win two starts back, when he beat Derecho at this venue before battling on for fifth behind Loose Aggressive. The five-week spacing looks suitable and he has enough around-7 ½f substance to be the one they have to beat. YUYU ADONIS (5) is the progressive danger after winning by four lengths from Attrice at this track, having placed on debut behind Snow Jewel, he is only two starts into his career and looks open to further improvement. CO'S BLEU (2) has the place profile, with a 7 ½f win already banked and Naoki Machida taking the ride, though the last-start defeat behind Loose Aggressive was too plain to ignore. DERECHO (7) resumes after finishing within half a length of Gold Carrera and his record of three placings from four starts keeps him in the argument, even if he is still chasing that first win.

#/Silk	Horse#/Horse	Power Rating	High Speed	Win %	Top 3%	Win Prob	Odds
4	Returns from a five-week let-up with the strongest overall case, having battled on for fifth behind Loose Aggressive last start after being an outside chance in betting. The key reference is his start-prior win at this track, where he beat Derecho by half a length as favourite. With one win and one placing from three starts at this venue, he sets the standard and looks ready to make it count. 1st Pick 4 Gold Carrera Jockey: Norifumi Mikamoto Trainer: Seiji Yamazaki J: Norifumi Mikamoto T: Seiji Yamazaki	188	-	-	-	39%	13/8

5	Returns from a five-week let-up as a lightly raced colt with genuine upside, having won by four lengths from Attrice at this track after starting among the outsiders. His debut third behind Snow Jewel over 4 ½f was sound enough, and he then showed a much sharper finishing profile second time out. Third-up with Ryusei Nakagoshi staying aboard, he is a strong winning chance again. 2nd Pick 5 Yuyu Adonis Jockey: Ryusei Nakagoshi Trainer: Kazumi Takei J: Ryusei Nakagoshi T: Kazumi Takei	143	-	-	-	29%	5/2

2	Returns from a five-week freshening after being beaten over 18 lengths behind Loose Aggressive at this track, when unwanted in the market and under pressure late. His previous start was a narrow win from Gold Sunday, and he has one win and two placings from four starts around 7 ½f. The Gold Carrera line is a hurdle, but his overall profile still gives him sound place claims. 3rd Pick 2 Co's Bleu Jockey: Naoki Machida Trainer: Katsuyoshi Uchida J: Naoki Machida T: Katsuyoshi Uchida	132	-	-	-	20%	4/1
