Verdict

HIRABOKU LAUGH IT (12) won over 1m at this track at his most recent appearance on January 21. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. BLAZING HEAT (5) last appeared when he finished third over 7f at Urawa on December 22. Capable of playing a major role. FINAL HEART (4) ran above expectations and got up for third at his latest appearance at Urawa over 7f. Good signs last time and is capable of another bold performance. SUMERAGI (1) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when 12th over 1m at this track. Worth plenty of thought.
