From the outside gate Eiraku can cross and take up the running. ANGLER (11) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 1.75 lengths over 800m at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and three minor placings. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. YAMANO GIFT (6) was prominent from the outset when fifth over 800m at this track last time out. Should be poised just off the lead. Best form puts her right in this. YOSHINO TARUMAE (5) is back at the races for the first time since October 17. Scored over 820m at Sonoda to launch the last campaign. Has recorded three wins when first up from a break. Makes plenty of appeal. EIRAKU (12) returned from a spell three weeks ago when she was prominent at the bend before being beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth over 800m at this track. Fitter so watch for a better performance.
