Verdict

QUEEN'S MONAKA (13) is the horse to beat after three straight wins, the latest a two-length B4 success at this track when sent out odds-on and finishing with real authority. Her record at this track and distance is strong, and Genta Ochiai has an excellent association with her. WIN STRATEGY (4) is the main danger on consistency, having run third last start after producing a big finish and fourth the start prior, with a deep record at this track and distance. EARTH CALLING (11) has not been far away in two fifths and brings a sound overall profile, though six unplaced attempts around 6f temper the winning confidence. MEISHO MARBLE (3) was third behind Queen's Monaka last start and has reliable track-and-trip credentials, so he is a genuine contender if he can turn that latest margin around.

4	Finished hard from a seemingly hopeless position to grab third behind Queen's Merengue last start, beaten just over two lengths and respected near the top of betting. He had also been solid when fourth behind Win Tolkien two back. Seven wins and six places from 22 starts at this track and distance, plus a strong Yamato Ishikawa record, make him a major threat. 2nd Pick 4 Win Strategy Jockey: Yamato Ishikawa Trainer: Noboru Yonekawa J: Yamato Ishikawa T: Noboru Yonekawa	138	-	-	-	9%	11/1

11	Kept to the task when fifth behind Queen's Merengue last start, beaten four and a half lengths as an outside chance in the betting. He was also fifth behind Win Tolkien two back, beaten three and a half lengths after being near the top of an open market. The broader record is solid and he has won at this track, though his 6f record is the clear query. 3rd Pick 11 Earth Calling Jockey: Shoma Kanayama Trainer: Fuyuki Igarashi J: Shoma Kanayama T: Fuyuki Igarashi	104	-	-	-	3%	40/1
