Verdict

HIROKI (6) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 8 lengths at Urawa over 7f. One of the top chances again. BLUE OCEAN (9) did a great job to score by 4 lengths over this course and distance when first-up from a spell last time out. Steps up a level but he is capable of another big run. HARBOR SHOW (7) ran below expectations last time at Urawa, finishing ninth and beaten 21 lengths starting at $9.70. The engagement of Ryo Novata is a positive move. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is right in contention. TERUKEN YUMIMIZUKI (2) has not raced since she scored over 7f at this track on March 3. Key contender.
