Nori Wood Tail has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. NORI WOOD TAIL (1) had been in top form landing two consecutive wins before a last-start second here. Can find winning form again. JUN ODR (6) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. MARINO MAGICAL (7) was well in the market when resuming last start but failed to threaten when a disappointing fifth. Worth noting her strong second-up record. Sure to be competitive. SMART ROBERT (4) has been safely held at her last couple of runs, the latest at Chukyo. Out of her depth in JRA meets recently but can easily bounce back.
