Verdict

SOUND PRIMO (4) finished second, beaten 1.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 4 ½f at this track after she was prominent at the corner. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. GIGANTOMACHIA (9) was never in contention last time over 1m at Tokyo when he finished seventh, beaten 16 lengths. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. GRAND MERMAID (2) was ridden positively and led throughout to score over 4 ½f at this track last time. Drawn for a good run on the speed and is capable of figuring in the finish. YOMII (12) could only manage to finish tenth, beaten 13 lengths, at her latest appearance over 7f at this track. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes.
