Anticipate a moderate tempo is a race devoid of recognised speedsters. ANGEL (6) is a promising colt yet to miss the frame after three starts, including two wins. Is at the races for the first time since he scored over 1000m at this track on November 6. Has plenty of upside and looks sure to feature. DIA NO GOTOKU (7) failed to feature last start, finishing eighth over 1200m at this track. Rates highly on best form and should go a lot better here. KARYN HEART (1) finished seventh at this track and distance at her last appearance five-and-a-half months ago. Can make her presence felt fresh. ASAGAO (2) was fourth over 1200m at Funabashi last time out. No surprise to see him in contention.
