Verdict

SHOSAN REX (2) earns top billing after putting the race away by a length and a half at this track last start, having been kept safe near the top of betting. His 6f record at this venue is well established, and the return of Ryo Fujita strengthens the case given their two wins together. IT'S BAD (8) appeals as the main danger at bigger likely odds after closing from well back for fourth behind Shosan Rex, with her recent placing consistency stronger than her win strike-rate. MIYUNGA (7) also worked home well in that same race and had placed the run prior, so he has the right recent pattern to be competitive, though he still has to turn the tables on the two ahead of him. BETTINA (6) was another to catch the eye late behind Shosan Rex and has a useful record with Kenji Okamura, making her a genuine place-to-win fringe hope if she repeats that sharper last-start effort.
