Verdict

D'S METHOD (6) was in control from the outset to score as favourite on debut over 4 ½f at this track four-and-a-half months ago and has not appeared since. Looks promising and can measure up again. TRAPEZIUM (4) didn't do a bad job to finish a neck away in second last start over 7 ½f at Funabashi. That followed a win on debut at Funabashi. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is capable of a big performance. FESTIVE HEART (7) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing sixth last start over 6f at Nakayama Dirt five-and-a-half weeks ago. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. One to consider. BEAR ASUMUI (8) has not raced since she finished third over 1m at this track on November 18. Has sound form here including a win and two minor placings from four starts. Big run is likely.
