Without an obvious leader, it may be left to Hanuman, Noble Liner and Wonder Aument to control the tempo. NOBLE LINER (7) comes here off a break of four months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1600m at Niigata. Capable of playing a major role. HANUMAN (3) was in commission second up last start and was in the frame for the second time in as many runs this prep, finishing third over 1400m at this track. Good chance to break through. YODONO ROOKIE (10) was allowed to drift back from a wide draw last time out then found the line strongly to grab second over 1400m at this track. Will be doing his best work late. AKAKICHINO ELEVEN (1) has struggled to threaten of late but can sneak a minor spot on best form.
