Verdict

MORIKEN (1) is a boom two-year-old colt yet to taste defeat in two runs, the most recent win by one length over 6f at this track. Impossible to knock the form and will go well again. TOP OF TOP (3) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 5f at this track when second, beaten 3 lengths. Has plenty of upside so he will prove tough to beat. LA MON PANTHER (4) finished 5.5 lengths away in third last time out at Urawa. On a five-day back-up. Nice run last time and should feature. RYUNO KING (5) was unwanted in betting on debut last start but ran a strong race, finishing third and beaten 6 lengths over 5f at this track. Has upside and must be respected.
