Verdict

DREAM FIGHTER (2) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second when resuming last time out over 7 ½f at Urawa. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. GIFTED QUEEN (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 7 lengths when fourth over 6f at Funabashi six days ago after being in the firing line on the corner. Yet to miss the placings from four starts at this track. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within her grasp. MUSCLE (5) is racing well without winning. Last start finished ninth, beaten 27 lengths, over 1 ¼m at Ohi. Good chance to break through. AGEHA SHINWA (1) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into seventh. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
