Verdict

EDONO MATENRO (2) led all the way to score on debut over 1m at this track nine months ago and has not appeared since. Likely improver who should run well again. KING'S EYE (1) resumes after a break of five months. Trying to repeat his debut win over 7f at this track to kick off last prep. One of the genuine hopes in the race. YUTO THE KENKEN (6) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten a nose, over this track and trip when resuming after a spell. Among the main chances. HARU ICHIBAN (7) struggled on the tougher circuit two back then last time appreciated the drop in grade when he bounced back and saluted at this track. Can sneak into the finish again.
