Verdict

G T GOD (10) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 5f at this track, getting home by half a length. Winning rider Tsubasa Sasagawa retains the mount. Has the talent to get the job done again. AFTER REVIEW (3) was prominent at the bend and ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 6f at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Looks well placed so expect another big run. AY OH (9) returned from a spell two-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 7 lengths into fifth over 1m at Funabashi. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BIRTH FLOWER (1) returns after four months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 4 ½f at Kawasaki. Nicely placed and can figure in the finish.
