Verdict

SUMOMOMOMOMOMOMOMO (1) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by 2 lengths over 7f at this track. Will be better for that latest run and is the testing material. HIRO SHIGE CRYSTAL (4) is back from a spell of nine months. Scored a determined win at her only run last campaign at Funabashi over 6f. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Among the leading chances. LALATINA (10) met with solid support when resuming last start over 6f at Funabashi when second, beaten 2 lengths. Will strip fitter and can atone. EXPLORE (11) finished 5.5 lengths from the winner in fourth after being prominent at the turn at his most recent outing over 7f at this track. Looks to be in the right race to figure in the finish.
