Verdict

ARRONDI (17) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1 ½m at Hanshin, beaten 4.5 lengths. Has never missed the frame second up. Atsuya Nishimura gets the best out of this four-year-old entire. Fitter and sure to run well. RI THIR CHONAILL (9) was a strong winner last time over 1 ¼m at this track, scoring by 1.75 lengths and making it back to back wins. Steps out further in journey. Tough to beat on recent form. WIN ODIN (15) failed to threaten when fresh from a spell last time out, beaten 6 lengths into 11th over 1 ¼m at Tokyo. Has a decent record at this trip with three minor placings from four tries and has to be respected. SHONAN SOMEDAY (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1 ?/16m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Strips fitter and can figure in the finish.
