Verdict

GOLD MONACO (3) sets the standard after winning both starts at this track, most recently putting seven lengths on Cendrillon after being heavily backed into very short odds-on territory. She has already shown she can control a race and quicken, and the unbeaten profile gives her the strongest winning case. ALLEGRO VIVACE (4) is the immediate danger, having bounced sharply from a fair debut fourth to win by six lengths as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. SEI LEGER (9) brings a different form spike, improving from an unwanted debut fourth over 4 ½f to win by a long way next time. That margin demands respect, though this is a deeper test of the strength behind it. DOKOFUKUKAZE (1) also arrives off a six-length win at this venue and did it by making strong late ground, so she has a genuine place profile with winning upside if she repeats that authority.

#/Silk	Horse#/Horse	Power Rating	High Speed	Win %	Top 3%	Win Prob	Odds
3	Returns from a five-week let-up, unbeaten in two starts and dominant both times at this track. She was backed into very short odds-on territory last start and won by seven lengths from Cendrillon after travelling right there and putting the race away quickly. Her debut win over Vuela Grande also had plenty in hand, and with race fitness third-up she brings the cleanest winning profile in the race. 1st Pick 3 Gold Monaco Jockey: Yuki Furuoka Trainer: Hiroyuki Takahashi J: Yuki Furuoka T: Hiroyuki Takahashi	146	-	-	-	20%	4/1

4	Back from a two-month break, produced a dominant six-length win at this track last start after holding a clear margin throughout as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. That answered the query from debut, when she was sent out favourite but could only manage fourth behind Duomo Amore. The latest performance is strong enough to make her a major winning chance if reproduced. 2nd Pick 4 Allegro Vivace Jockey: Masashige Honda Trainer: Katsuyoshi Uchida J: Masashige Honda T: Katsuyoshi Uchida	112	-	-	-	19%	9/2

9	Returns from a five-week let-up after a wide-margin win at this track, beating Time Of River by a long way when near the top of betting. That was a sharp progression from debut over 4 ½f, where she was unwanted in the market but charged home late for fourth behind Snow Jewel. The latest win gives her strong claims, although she now has to confirm that big margin against better exposed rivals. 3rd Pick 9 Sei Leger Jockey: Keita Nishi Trainer: Shoichi Hirata J: Keita Nishi T: Shoichi Hirata	108	-	-	-	10%	10/1
