Verdict

POD DUKE (9) finished third at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 4 ½f at this track, finishing 3.5 lengths back in sixth. Nicely placed to bounce back. MANA KOA (2) missed the placings two runs back then was always well out of her ground last start when 7 lengths away in tenth over 4 ½f at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. PRESTO VENUS (12) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 1.4 lengths back in fourth over 4 ½f at this track. One of the main contenders. KOYU MYU MYU (11) was beaten 4 lengths into fifth in a 4f contest at Urawa four weeks ago. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
