Very keen early battle with Subarashii Hibi and Air Griffon matching motors and there are a few others that can keep them busy. AIR GRIFFON (5) is a promising galloper who resumes from a break. Last raced when second over 1400m at this track five-and-a-half months ago. Has scored first-up from a spell before. Leading contender. A SHIN JET (11) was a determined winner two runs back then raced on the speed last time before finishing second over 1400m at this track. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Can be in the finish. UNA (7) has been in the market at her last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest ninth at this track over 1400m. Top-three chance on best figures. AZU GREATER (4) went to the paddock after scoring at his only appearance last prep nine months ago over 1400m at Himeji. Should camp just off the leaders. Don't underestimate.
