Only a small field with Crowd Noise likely to find a comfortable lead. NARITA SHIN (4) was popular when resuming last start over 1500m at Himeji but finished fifth. Has a decent second-up record. Likely improver. DAIJOBANAI (5) finished eighth last start over 1500m at Himeji. Form over this journey is strong, boasting four wins from eight starts. Change of rider to Shingo Oyama who has 12 wins when aboard. Likely to feature. CROWD NOISE (1) could only manage tenth last start over 1400m at Himeji. Form here is good and is one of the leading contenders. HANABUSA (2) was below his best last time, finishing seventh over 1500m at Himeji. Expect a better run this time.
