Verdict

DANON ALPS (7) is back from a spell of 11 months and brings solid fresh form to the table. Strung together three wins before the break, the latest over 1m at this track. Yet to miss the placings at this circuit, including three wins. Will be hard to stop. REVIVE MAILLARD (2) turned in a modest performance when fifth last time out over 1m at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being prominent at the turn. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ECORO LUCINA (13) pushed forward from a wide draw last time out and was prominent for a long way before fading to finish sixth over 7 ½f at Funabashi. One of the main contenders. MAJESTY RULE (9) was prominent into the straight last time but was claimed late to finish 6 lengths away in sixth over 1m at this track. Gives a good sight here.
