Wavy should spear straight to the front of the small field. BETTLES (6) built on a nice second when fresh from a spell two starts back at Hanshin with success as favourite over 2400m at Kyoto six weeks ago, getting home by a nose. Meeting a deeper field this time but he can win again. CULMINALE (3) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at Tokyo over 2400m last time, finishing 13th and beaten 8 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. SARATOGA CHIPS (1) won at this track and distance at his last outing four-and-a-half months ago. Makes plenty of appeal. WAVY (7) returns from a layoff of 12 weeks. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 3000m at Chukyo. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
