Verdict

WUNDERBAR (12) finished second last start over 1m at this track to make it three minor placings from four runs. Yet to miss the top-three in two runs at this circuit. Sure to prove very tough to beat. ECORO GANON (2) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when third at this track over 1m. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Leading contender. MOON GRAIL (7) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish seventh at his latest appearance over 1 ?m at Tokyo. Expected to feature in the finish this time. AOHARU BLUES (9) debuted six weeks ago when he finished sixth over 1m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Top-three chance with that run under his belt.
