Verdict

HANDEN DRAKE (10) is back at the races for the first time since January 7. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1m at Kawasaki. Capable of playing a major role. DONA SCHON (12) has switched yards since finishing tenth seven weeks ago over 7f at Kyoto Dirt. One of the genuine hopes in the race. LOVE ME MONROE (9) was in contention on the bend and finished third last time over 6f at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Has started three times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Has the class to find winning ways. TOMONO HOMARE (7) brings the right form to this race after taking out a 6f contest at this track last time out by 2.5 lengths. One of the contenders.
