Verdict

RIKO TYPHON (4) sets the standard after putting five lengths on Kurino Florence at this track last start, a dominant return to winning form after another solid placing behind Vesel. His overall profile is strong, with three wins and four places from eight starts and a perfect place record from three attempts at this track and distance. KOKKURISAN (5) has a less tidy recent record, but the second to Siena Best two runs ago reads well and her long experience around 7f keeps her firmly in the mix if she avoids giving them too much start. HISOKA (7) resumed with a sound third behind Vesel and brings a proven track-and-distance record, with the Yoichi Ando partnership another positive. KURA ORYU (3) was beaten as favourite at Urawa last time but had won there the start prior, so he remains a genuine place chance with the right recent form to challenge.

4	Returned to winning form in decisive style at this track, clearing out to beat Kurino Florence by five lengths after being well found near the top of betting. His start prior third behind Vesel was still sound, and his broader record is hard to fault: three wins and four places from eight starts, with a place every time at this track and distance. Drawn to use his natural speed and looks the horse they have to beat. 1st Pick 4 Riko Typhon Jockey: Hiroto Ito Trainer: Tadanari Konno J: Hiroto Ito T: Tadanari Konno	191	-	-	-	35%	15/8

5	Has the right closing form to be dangerous despite finishing ninth at this track last start, when she conceded a huge start and was still fair through the line, beaten five and a half lengths at big odds. Two runs back she was second at this venue, beaten a length after working home well at long odds. Her record at around 7f is strong enough to take seriously, so she remains a genuine winning chance if she settles closer. 2nd Pick 5 Kokkurisan Jockey: Noritada Honda Trainer: Kazumi Takei J: Noritada Honda T: Kazumi Takei	59	-	-	-	27%	11/4

7	Resumed with a solid third at this track, beaten just over two lengths behind Vesel after being right there and holding on fairly. His previous run before the break was flatter when sixth behind Amrta, but he is now second-up with three wins and two places from nine starts at this track and distance. Yoichi Ando has also won three races on him, which gives him a strong enough case to press the main chances. 3rd Pick 7 Hisoka Jockey: Yoichi Ando Trainer: Hironori Sato J: Yoichi Ando T: Hironori Sato	112	-	-	-	17%	5/1
