Verdict

CONTI WATCHI (3) brings the most reliable profile, with a third to Keiki Kane at this track last start adding to a record of one win and three places from eight starts at this venue. She was beaten just over three lengths as favourite, so there is a small finishing query, but her placed record at the distance and strong jockey-horse figures give her the clearest case. BLOND KNIGHT (7) has not quickened at his past two, yet his overall track record is sound and the previous run behind Trend Line had more merit than the bare sixth suggests. BRILLER TATION (1) worked home evenly when fifth to Keiki Kane and has already beaten Blond Knight recently, while Fuma Ono returning is a useful support. CHARTER (2) was plain when seventh over 6f after being near the top of betting, but his debut win by three lengths from A Shin Gunter showed enough quality to keep him in calculations if he copes with 1 ¹/16m for the first time.

3	Ran third to Keiki Kane at this track last start, beaten just over three lengths as favourite after not quite finishing the race off. That followed a fourth to Sirindhorn when she was among the outsiders, and her broader record reads well with one win and three places from eight starts at this venue. Placed at the distance and reunited with a proven rider, she sets the standard among these. 1st Pick 3 Conti Watchi Jockey: Masaaki Kuwamura Trainer: Kunio Himori J: Masaaki Kuwamura T: Kunio Himori	148	-	-	-	40%

7	Did not quicken when sixth to Keiki Kane at this track last start, beaten just under six lengths, and he had filled the same placing behind Trend Line the run prior. That earlier effort was more encouraging, as he was asked to make up many lengths and kept working to the line. His overall record at this venue is solid, and a return to that stronger closing effort would make him a major player. 2nd Pick 7 Blond Knight Jockey: Ryu Abe Trainer: Fuyuki Igarashi J: Ryu Abe T: Fuyuki Igarashi	120	-	-	-	19%

1	Worked home evenly when fifth to Keiki Kane at this track last start, beaten just over four lengths at generous odds. The start prior she led and held fourth behind Queue Balancee, and that gives her a sound enough platform from the inside draw. Fuma Ono returns after winning on her earlier in the campaign, and while the form has tapered a shade, she remains a realistic place chance. 3rd Pick 1 Briller Tation Jockey: Fuma Ono Trainer: Nozomi Ono J: Fuma Ono T: Nozomi Ono	105	-	-	-	23%
