Verdict

S'IL TE PLAIT (7) sets the standard in a compact A1 contest, having finished second to Soldier Field here last start and holding a perfect top-three record from five runs at this track and distance. He was beaten as a well-fancied runner at his past two, so the winning edge is the only caveat, but the overall profile is strong. BRAVE AMORE (1) is the clear threat after another placing behind Soldier Field and has traded results with S'Il Te Plait recently, though his record here over 1 ¹/16m is more about consistency than winning. D S YELL (4) brings genuine track-and-trip credentials and was runner-up to Nishiken Bob last time, making him a solid place chance. SITHEP (3) resumes with an excellent overall record and useful weight relief, but must rebound from a heavy Ohi defeat before he can be treated as the main danger.

#/Silk	Horse#/Horse	Power Rating	High Speed	Win %	Top 3%	Win Prob	Odds
7	Went close here last start when second to Soldier Field, beaten a length and a half after letting down well and holding on fairly in a small field. He was also third behind the same winner two back as a prohibitive odds-on favourite, so there is a little frustration attached to the recent profile. Still, three wins and two placings from five track-and-distance runs make him the one to beat. 1st Pick 7 S'il Te Plait Jockey: Yamato Ishikawa Trainer: Noboru Yonekawa J: Yamato Ishikawa T: Noboru Yonekawa	245	-	-	-	39%	13/8

1	Continues to hold his form, finishing third to Soldier Field here last start after working home evenly and going under by three and a half lengths. He was second to the same winner at Mombetsu two back when an outside chance in the betting, and his five placings from seven runs at this track and distance underline the consistency. The concern is that he keeps placing rather than winning, but he remains a major player. 2nd Pick 1 Brave Amore Jockey: Fuma Ono Trainer: Kuniaki Sasaki J: Fuma Ono T: Kuniaki Sasaki	123	-	-	-	29%	5/2

4	Returns from a six-week let-up after finishing second to Nishiken Bob here, beaten three lengths, when he was run down late after being well found in an open market. The prior fourth behind Soldier Field was a distant defeat, but he did catch the eye late. His five wins and nine placings from 19 starts at this track and distance make him a dependable minor-money contender. 3rd Pick 4 D S Yell Jockey: Yuji Iwahashi Trainer: Takahiro Matsumoto J: Yuji Iwahashi T: Takahiro Matsumoto	102	-	-	-	20%	4/1
