Verdict

MAHNE FLOTTANT (2) brings the most reliable recent profile, having gone under by only half a length in a C2C3 at this track after fighting on strongly, and her record of six wins and five placings from 17 starts at this track and distance gives her a clear base. KOTORINO UTAU UTA (12) is the main danger off a Kawasaki win, where she beat Maono Volcano by a length and a half and scored with a little in hand, though she does come back quickly and was beaten by Mahne Flottant at this venue about three weeks ago. STELLA BOULOGNE (6) resumes with strong track-and-distance credentials, including two wins and five placings from eight attempts, and her overall form across the past 12 months reads well for this grade. LIGHTNESS (5) has been honest this campaign, second at Funabashi before a closing fourth at this track, but her unplaced record at this track and distance keeps her more in the each-way bracket.

#/Silk	Horse#/Horse	Power Rating	High Speed	Win %	Top 3%	Win Prob	Odds
2	Returns from a one-month let-up after a narrow second in a C2C3 at this track, beaten half a length by Poison Caesar after fighting hard when headed late. That followed a solid third here when near the top of betting, and she has six wins and five placings from 17 starts at this track and distance. With Retsu Oikawa back aboard and the form holding up, she is the runner they have to beat. 1st Pick 2 Mahne Flottant Jockey: Retsu Oikawa Trainer: Shinji Kobayashi J: Retsu Oikawa T: Shinji Kobayashi	137	-	-	-	37%	7/4

12	Scored well at Kawasaki six days ago, beating Maono Volcano by a length and a half after leading and stretching out with a little in hand. Before that she was fourth in a C2C3 at this track, where Mahne Flottant had her measure, so the quick back-up is the one small question. Her recent 12-month record and strong partnership with Yujiro Tanabata make her a genuine winning danger again. 2nd Pick 12 Kotorino Utau Uta Jockey: Yujiro Tanabata Trainer: Takashi Mizuno J: Yujiro Tanabata T: Takashi Mizuno	150	-	-	-	27%	11/4

6	Returns from a four-month break with a strong record for this assignment, headed by two wins and five placings from eight starts at this track and distance. She ended last campaign with a fourth to Mozu River Chateau, beaten just over six lengths, after a sound third behind Queen's Happy. Her 12-month profile is reliable, and a fresh showing at this level would put her right in the race. 3rd Pick 6 Stella Boulogne Jockey: Genki Fujimoto Trainer: Shinsuke Kudo J: Genki Fujimoto T: Shinsuke Kudo	96	-	-	-	20%	4/1
