Verdict

BLACK HONEY (1) is back after a break of three months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at his latest appearance over 7f at this track. Ready for a bold run. RENOVATIO (3) remains a maiden after 11 runs. Had plenty of admirers last time but could only manage to finish sixth over 7f at Kawasaki. Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. HAYAMA DAYS (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 7 ½f at Funabashi, beaten 3.5 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Fitter so expect a better run this time. LAGO DI EYE (9) finished third last time over 6f at Funabashi, beaten 8 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing.
