Verdict

TOKKI HOLLETT (3) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 2 lengths as favourite over 4f at this track. Haruto Nakayama scored on her last time and retains the ride. Must raise the bar but she has the talent to test this line-up. NISHINO CLAUDIA (8) is backing up quickly after finishing in the money at Kawasaki over 4 ½f just nine days ago. Must contend with a wide draw but is a definite winning chance. A T SPICA (2) showed good early speed over 6f at Funabashi last time and went on to salute by 0.8 lengths. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and a placing from four starts. Shapes as one to consider. VASILOPAIS (6) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7 ½f at Kawasaki, beaten 14 lengths into 13th. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
