Sphene Tesoro has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. NISHINO NASTURTIUM (5) was in a different class last time, registering a dominant 6 lengths win over 1400m at this track to make it two in a row. Has a strong association with Yukihito Nagata who has been in the saddle for her last two wins. Leading contender. VILLAGE TIERRA (7) has not appeared since she scored over 1300m at this track on August 31. Ready to run well. T M SUAVE (2) has scored at her last two starts, most recently by 0.8 lengths over 1400m at this track. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins from four outings. Can feature again. YUI AVENIR (12) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1400m at this track. Generally goes well here. Not to be discounted.
