Verdict

SUMMER STORY (1) was sent out favourite last time and scored by a neck at this track. Has a decent record at this track with two wins and four minor placings from 12 starts. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Best figures should see him run well. JASPER JET (4) started at $1.60 last time but could only manage tenth, beaten 6 lengths, at Funabashi over 1 ?m. Reunites with Tsubasa Sasagawa who has three wins from four rides. Expecting a bold showing. ISA CHIL COME COME (3) made progress last time out, finishing 9 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1m at Funabashi. Meets some better types this time but another big run will not surprise. ORANGEY (10) could only manage fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1 ¼m at this track, beaten just a neck. Capable of featuring prominently.
