|---|---|---|---|---|

Toa Raiden should be able to comfortably find the front. PRISMAGICO (9) was far from disgraced when fourth last start over 2000m at Chukyo, beaten 1.5 lengths. That followed a win at Kokura the start prior. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. NIGHT SLUGGER (2) lines up for the first time since January 5. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 2000m at Kyoto. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with three minor placings from three tries. Has ability and should be right in the finish. BITTER GLACE (10) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at this track three-and-a-half months ago. Is a winner at this circuit. Shapes as one to consider. LUCULLAN FEAST (3) turned in a solid first-up effort at this track then wasn't beaten all that far last time when ninth at this track over 1800m. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
