Verdict

MIRACLE KISS (4) was always forward and boxed on to finish second at this course and distance last time. That made it back-to-back placings and should be hitting peak fitness now so can break through. SOUTHERN BRAVE (7) is back from a spell of five-and-a-half months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 7f at Kanazawa. Has switched to the Nobuhiro Shibuya stable. Looks a winning chance. QUATTRO EVEIL (6) has not appeared since he finished 12th at Chukyo in August. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Hironori Unoki and is much better placed dropping back from JRA level. STELLA BOULOGNE (1) has switched yards since scoring by 2.5 lengths at Monbetsu over 5f on November 13. Can measure up.
