Verdict

HANUMAN BEACH (1) returns from a spell of four months after back-to-back wins to close last campaign, the latest over 7 ½f at this track. Has a win and three minor placings at this journey from six starts and is expected to feature. KITASAN EPONA (9) lines up for the first time since November 26. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 7 ½f at this track. Expect her to play a major role. CRISP OF WAR (13) showed good early speed then led into the straight when fresh from a spell last start before fighting on to finish third, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 6f at Funabashi. Top-three hope. ESORA (6) produced another moderate effort last start when ninth over 6f at Funabashi. No surprise to see him in contention.
