Verdict

HOSHO DIVA (7) resumes in a similar race to her only run last prep back on August 20 when third, beaten 5 lengths. Looks a winning chance while fresh. PALERMO FLAVOR (8) returns after a spell of four months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 7 ½f at Funabashi. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. TO THE EARTH (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7 ½f at this track, beaten 6 lengths into eighth. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. RIKKIO (6) finished 13 lengths adrift in eighth last time over 1m at Funabashi in a disappointing performance. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
