Caramel Chocolat should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. SANTA MONICA BEACH (9) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by 4 lengths over today's journey at Urawa. Has a good record at this trip with a win and one placings. Can go on with it. CARAMEL CHOCOLAT (6) stalked the pace when resuming at this track and trip last start then worked to the line steadily to finish third. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best form puts her right in this. YAMABUKI (8) is racing okay without winning including a last start third over 2000m at Urawa. Must be respected. HANUMAN BEACH (2) crossed from an outside draw last time to stalk the lead before drawing clear to win by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at Urawa. Worth including.
