Verdict

PEGASE BRILLER (6) opened this prep last start with a third, beaten 6 lengths, over 7f at this track. Ticks all the right boxes. GINREI (7) wasn't far away when resuming last start, finishing third over 6f at Funabashi. Yet to miss the frame over this longer journey. Among the leading chances. WAIKIKI BEACH (4) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when sixth over 7f at Urawa. Has the class to figure prominently. BLUE TOURMALINE (12) has not won for a long while. Last raced on November 20 when beaten 6 lengths into fourth at this track over 7 ½f after being in contention on the turn. Nicely placed to bounce back.
