From the wide gate Ai Cappuccino should cross and lead. JACK ORANGE (8) returned from a spell five weeks ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 1400m at Urawa. Likely improver with strong prospects. VIP AKUA (11) lines up on the back of a 8 length fourth over 1200m at this track. This looks an ideal assignment. PORTULACA (6) returned from a spell a month ago when she was beaten 11 lengths into eighth over 1400m at Urawa. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. ZODIAC REVE (4) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a seventh over 1200m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Nicely placed to turn things around.
