Verdict

DERMA PURUSA (9) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 7 ½f at this track nine months ago. Ryo Novata who has four wins when partnering stays on. Best form puts him right in this. HARMONY ROI (12) was thereabouts last time out when fourth over 6f at Funabashi after he was up on the pace all the way. Yet to miss the frame over this longer journey. Poses a genuine threat. BECAUSE WE CAN (7) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished in fifth last time out over 7f at this track. This is a nice drop in grade so he is likely to play a big role. SUNNY SAFFRON (11) did a little better last start at the second run of the campaign, finishing fourth over 6f at Funabashi. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Must be respected.
