Without a recognised leader, Celestial Hope and Chic Sein will likely set the pace. CHIC SEIN (3) is back from a break of four-and-a-half months. Put together back-to-back wins before going for a spell, the most recent at Mizusawa over 1400m. Shinobu Murakami has been the pilot at his last two wins. Leading contender. CELESTIAL HOPE (1) was well in commission last start over 1400m at Mizusawa when fifth, beaten 8 lengths. Deserves another chance. CABINET BATTLE (4) finished 5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1200m at this track three weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Right in this. HAPPY GLORY (6) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by 1.3 lengths over 1200m at this track. Nicely placed to feature in the finish again.
