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

Solid tempo with Fuku Adel possessing enough dash to find the front. MEISHO MARBLE (6) finished fifth at this track and distance at his last appearance five-and-a-half months ago. Expect him to play a major role. SPRING LETTER (5) finished fourth at this track and distance at her last appearance five-and-a-half months ago. Capable of playing a major role. HANAKANZASHI (2) finished out of the money two starts back then she settled well back and was beaten 6 lengths when tenth over 1200m at Ohi eight weeks ago. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. FUKU ADEL (3) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a eighth over 1500m at Funabashi. Good enough on his day and can fill a top-three spot.
