Cinnamon Daisy is the likely leader at a slick tempo. T O EDISON (12) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1000m at this track, scoring by 0.8 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Jumps from a wide draw but he can go on with it. MATTERHORN (1) comes here off a last-start fourth over 1200m at this track. Has a good record at this journey and is among the top chances. CINNAMON DAISY (8) last appeared six weeks ago over 1700m at Nagoya when she finished ninth. This is her first run for the Hiroto Kawashima stable. Sure to make her presence felt. IMMORTAL WIND (9) did a great job to score by 3 lengths over this course and distance when first-up from a layoff last start. In the mix.
