Verdict

SIENA WAVE (12) turned in a fine effort to score by one length at this course and distance last time out to make it two-for-two this prep. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to cope. SMOKE FLAVOR (11) was an impressive winner last time over 5f at Funabashi, leading throughout and putting 2 lengths on his rivals. Has a formidable combination with Ryo Novata who has been aboard for his last two wins. Should be in the finish. DANCING CRY (9) turned in a handy position before finishing second last start over 5f at Funabashi, beaten half a length. Taking on a better line-up this time but she is good enough to play a major role. SIRIUS (4) turned in a better run last start, beaten 4 lengths into fourth over 5f at Funabashi. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
