Verdict

TOP RANKER (4) turned in a solid run when resuming last start over this course and distance, finishing second and beaten only 0.8 lengths. Should be prominent from the outset. Likely to feature. ANTILIA (5) has recorded two minor placings from three starts this preparation, the latest when second as a well-fancied conveyance over 6f at this track. He is a real danger. TOKEN MARTINI (6) went forward last start and proved too strong, getting home by 3 lengths over 4 ½f at Kawasaki. Taking on a better line-up this time but she deserves plenty of thought. ICHI THE PEGASUS (7) did a great job to score by 1.5 lengths over this course and distance last start in a far better effort. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose.
