Verdict

MAMA ARIGATO (10) was quickly into stride over 6f at Funabashi last time and went on to score by 3 lengths. Should be on-pace despite the tricky draw. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot salute. PRESTO VENUS (12) has been kept fresh since finishing second over 4 ½f at this track four weeks ago. Was a determined winner two starts back. Good record at this journey with two wins and four minor placings from nine starts and looks a top chance. SUIRENCHAN (2) has switched yards since finishing third six-and-a-half weeks ago over 5f at Monbetsu. Sure to make her presence felt. RUNWAY QUEEN (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 4f at Urawa, beaten 5 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
