From the wide gate Ask Happy More should cross and lead. URBAN CHIC (1) got too far back and finished 11th over 2400m in the G1 Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby) at his most recent appearance on May 26. Classy colt who was only 2.3 lengths adrift in the Gr 1 Satsuki Sho at the start of last prep. Expect him to play a major role. Grade 2 winner COSMO KURANDA (8) is a talented colt who tackled the cream at his last run on May 26 and finished sixth behind Danon Decile over 2400m in the G1 Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby). This looks a more winnable assignment. STINGER GLASS (12) did well to score by 5 lengths first-up in a weaker race last start over 2400m at Niigata. Open to plenty of improvement and looks a big threat to the top chances. Grade 1 placegetter ECORO WALZ (6) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on May 26, finishing eighth and beaten 6 lengths in the Japanese Derby. Can make his presence felt.
