They look to roll along early with Bitcoin and Adam's Apple leading the charge. I'LL PROTECT (1) finished eighth two runs back at Urawa then improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths after being prominent at the corner over 900m at Kawasaki. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he can win again. PIKO DIAL (7) finished ninth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 3 lengths over 1200m at this track. Finds a tougher race but another win beckons. ISSHIN FURAN (10) is building towards a win with placings at her last two runs, the latest effort a third over 1200m at this track when beaten 3 lengths. Is a winner at this circuit. Capable of a big run. BITCOIN (3) ran below expectations last start, finishing eighth and beaten 5 lengths at this track over 1200m. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
