Verdict

POP THAT BODY (5) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 7 ½f at this track ten weeks ago and has not appeared since. Should be better for the debut experience and there's no reason why he can't go on with the job now. LIGHTNING JAB (1) returned from a spell six weeks ago when she was fourth over 7 ½f at this track. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. CREME D'OR (3) stalked the pace when resuming at this track and trip last start then worked to the line steadily to finish second. Sure to be thereabouts. UKIYONO MESSIAH (12) was comfortably accounted for when second last time out over 6f at this track, beaten 4 lengths, after a win at Monbetsu at the previous outing. Should be thereabouts.
