Verdict

SPARTA LEONIDAS (2) is close to a win with two recent placings, the latest when second over 7 ½f at Urawa. Reunites with jockey Norifumi Mikamoto who knows him well, including four wins while aboard. Expecting a bold showing. ORTHO SLUGGER (3) turned in a strong run over this course and distance last time, settling well back then unleashing in the straight to get up for third. A repeat of the latest effort will see him in the finish again. BENISSIMO (4) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by 2.5 lengths over 1m at this track. Has a solid second-up record and this looks well within his grasp. LORD BALDER (5) was eighth at the second run back from a break in an 1 ?m contest at this track at his latest appearance. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
