Verdict

KITASAN RIBBON (2) returns from the paddock after closing last prep with two consecutive wins, the most recent over 7f at this track. Has a formidable combination with Tsubasa Sasagawa who has been aboard for her last two wins. Among the leading chances. TAKAICHI NADAL (3) finished fourth when resuming two runs back then progressed nicely last time out after being prominent at the turn to score by 1.5 lengths as public elect over 7 ½f at this track. Going up a level this time but she is good enough to play a major role. MASANO PREZIOSO (7) finished 7 lengths away in eighth last time out over 6f at Funabashi after being in contention on the corner three weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. One of the main contenders. MAURITIUS AROMA (8) is building towards a win with placings at her last two runs, the latest effort a third over 7f at this track when beaten 2 lengths. Should be in the mix again.
