Verdict

WATASHIDE IIDESUKA (8) has not raced since she finished off last campaign with a strong win over 1 ¹/16m at Kanazawa four months ago. Should be prominent from the outset. Best figures should see her run well. TAKERU SURVIVAL (6) turned in a fine effort to score by 5 lengths at today's track and distance last start in a much improved run. Likely to be there at the finish again. IMMORTEL (1) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 3 lengths as favourite over 1 ¼m at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is good enough to play a major role. JUN VICTOIRE (4) was in contention on the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1 ¼m at Urawa, beaten 2 lengths. Should take a lot from that hit-out. In the mix.
