|---|---|---|---|---|

Solid tempo likely with Cotton Flower, Britten and Glory Shoes prominent. COTTON FLOWER (5) was in a different class last time when a dominant winner over 1500m at Kanazawa, adding to her terrific recent form. Nicely placed to keep the ball rolling. IORI (3) met with solid support last start here when eighth. Well-placed to make amends. BRITTEN (6) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out here. Nicely placed to feature. TELEOS BOS (11) is experiencing a long win drought. Was solid when fourth over 1500m at Funabashi after being prominent at the corner. Best figures measure up nicely. Can do a lot better.
