A solid tempo on the cards with Grand Freude heading them off. I'LL PROTECT (9) is racing well, scoring two back at this track before finishing a neck from the winner in second last time over 1200m at Funabashi. Form over this course and distance is solid with a win and three minor placings from six starts. A bold showing is likely. KANNON ANIMO (6) is a eight-time winner who has been at the top of his game of late, beaten 1.5 lengths into second last time out over 900m at this track. Sure to figure prominently. GRAND FREUDE (8) had been racing well with two consecutive placings before last start managing only eighth over 900m at this track. Form at this track is solid. Strong claims on his best form. POD LEO (4) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 1200m at Funabashi. Solid top-three candidate.
