Looks a keen contest with Fairy On Ice and Gold Breeder pressing for the lead with Admire Cork and Sky List close at hand. SKY LIST (2) has found form, finishing second last time out over 1500m at this track after a win at Kanazawa at the previous outing. Can go on with it. HARD ROCK STAR (5) lightly raced galloper who has been safely held at both runs this prep. Could only manage 11th last start over 2000m at Urawa. Rock hard fit now and is a big chance to break the ice. GOLD PARTNER (4) resumes from a spell of eight months and is having his first outing under new trainer Masato Hayashi. Finished sixth at Tokyo Dirt over 1600m at the opening run last time in work. One of the genuine hopes in the race. ECORO LUCINA (7) was eighth in a 1500m contest at Urawa two weeks ago. Worth consideration here.
