Verdict

DAIWA CURREN CITY (1) gets the nod in a race built around lightly raced last-start winners. Her debut win at Ohi had substance, as she sat just off the leader and quickened to beat Talitha by a length, and she again carries 112lbs from the inside barrier. O SHIN SORA (7) was more dominant on raw margin, winning by six lengths as odds-on favourite and beating Chord Eleven with plenty in hand, so he is the obvious danger if he repeats that debut level. LUCKY COLOR (8) comes through an eight-length Ohi win as favourite and has improved sharply from his debut fourth, though he profiles more as a strong place threat than a clear top pick. RIKEA CHA CHA CHA (9) was solid when second to Friend Tonnerre but has a distance query and still seeks a first win.
