I'll Protect is the likely leader at a keen tempo. HYEONGNIM (1) was far from disgraced when second last start over 1200m here following a win at this track the start prior. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to bounce back. MIAMI (6) ran a nice race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 0.8 lengths over 1500m at Kawasaki. Looks well placed so expect another big run this time. OVAL BOUQUET (5) has strung together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on September 30 over 1200m when she scored by 2 lengths. Winning rider Tatsuya Yamaguchi retains the mount. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she can win again. I'LL PROTECT (3) was quickly into stride from the rails draw last start but emptied late to finish eighth over 1400m at Kawasaki. Has the ability to make his mark.
