Verdict

TOKEN GIN ROCK (2) is the one to beat after a determined C3 win at Mombetsu, where he held Queen's Monaka by a nose and confirmed the promise of his recent campaign. The first try around 7f is the one qualification, but he has two wins from nine starts and brings a sharper winning profile than most. EMINENT CAREER (8) is the immediate danger, having won a C3 at this track by a neck from Lucetta and boasting three wins from 11 starts around this distance. CIEL RISE (6) is also in the right form, backing up a solid second to Mitono Teio with a last-start Kawasaki win, and his record around 7f gives him a genuine platform. MIKONO DEBANDA (7) returns from a long absence, but a debut win by five lengths and a narrow second as favourite at this venue make her the wildcard with enough exposed quality to be competitive if ready.

2	Returns from a two-month freshening after a genuine C3 win at Mombetsu, where he held Queen's Monaka by a nose and was near the top of an open market. He had been fourth to Emma Diamond in the same grade two weeks earlier, so the form has a solid base. Around 7f is new ground, but he comes through the right races, draws well and looks a strong winning chance. 1st Pick 2 Token Gin Rock Jockey: Mai Fukuhara Trainer: Hirotsugu Ozawa J: Mai Fukuhara T: Hirotsugu Ozawa	76	-	-	-	13%	7/1

8	Won a C3 at this track last start, scoring by a neck from Lucetta on good ground after being only an outside chance in betting. Her previous fourth at Funabashi was sound enough, and the broader profile is strong with four wins from 19 starts and three wins from 11 around 7f. With the winning rider back, she has the substance to be right in the finish. 2nd Pick 8 Eminent Career Jockey: Genki Fujimoto Trainer: Tomoyuki Fujihara J: Genki Fujimoto T: Tomoyuki Fujihara	138	-	-	-	20%	4/1

6	Has built neatly through this campaign and broke through at Kawasaki last week, beating Kitano Chance by just under a length after finding plenty late. That followed a second to Mitono Teio in a COND, so the current form is reliable. The quick back-up is the only real reservation, but he has two wins around this trip and arrives with strong winning claims. 3rd Pick 6 Ciel Rise Jockey: Naoki Machida Trainer: H Sasaki J: Naoki Machida T: H Sasaki	155	-	-	-	37%	7/4
