Verdict

MY BRIDGE (11) wasn't far off maiden success before a four-and-a-half months break, finishing the prep with a minor placing at this track. Tricky draw to overcome. Looks the one to beat. WONDERFUL GRACE (6) resumes. Didn't make an impact at her only run last prep on February 26, finishing fourth and beaten 3.5 lengths over 7 ½f at Urawa. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will give a great sight. NAMIE HERO (10) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 6 lengths away in seventh over 7f at Urawa. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. YAMATO KACHIDOKI (5) wound up strongly last time out to finish 1.5 lengths adrift in second over 7f at this track. Has a good association with Takuto Iketani with a run of four top-three results. Must be respected.
