Verdict

NA HIKU (3) broke through for his maiden win over 6f at this track last time, scoring comfortably. Shaping up nicely and he is sure to go well. BEST POSITION (5) is a talented filly who has been in the money at both appearances. Is at the races for the first time since she finished third over 6f at this track on November 4. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Sure to be in the finish. ALA MO (6) returns after a spell of four months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 5 ½f at Monbetsu. Has switched to the Shun Ishizaki yard. Comes here with definite top-three claims. SEIJO CROWN (7) was sent out at $16.30 last time but ran above expectations and won over 6f at this track. Should park just off the speed. Not to be discounted.
