Verdict

KURINO WILLIAM (7) made it two wins on the bounce last time out when he scored by 0.8 lengths over 4f at Urawa. Faces an easier assignment so he is perfectly placed to score again. MOZU AND MOZU (2) jumped from a wide gate last start and finished 9 lengths away in tenth over this track and distance. Has a much better draw this time. Ryo Novata who has four wins when partnering stays on. Likely to feature. SARASA EMPEROR (4) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 4 ½f at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. IVY HIMECHAN (9) won at this track two starts ago but was below her best at a more recent appearance, finishing eighth over 4 ½f at this track. Well placed to make amends.
