Verdict

CERRADO (6) was well beaten in better company two back then tackled an easier race last time when a 5 length winner over 7f at this track. Rates highly and should feature again. ZIEGFELD (12) travelled in a rearwards position then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished 5.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 6f at Funabashi a week-and-a-half ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Sure to run well. CINNAMON POP (1) ran a bold race over this journey last time, leading for much of the way before fading out of it late to finish 1.1 lengths away in fourth at Urawa. Will push forward and is among the chances. ASIA PATEK (14) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in second over 7f at this track. Nicely placed to take this out.
