Verdict

WILLEM (15) turned in a solid fresh performance last start when a minor placegetter over 1 ¼m at Niigata, beaten 1.75 lengths. Has a strong record when second-up, including three wins. Rates highly on best form and should go very well. MIKKI TWINKLE (9) was narrowly beaten at her latest appearance at Chukyo over 1 ¼m three-and-a-half months ago. Excels fresh. Should be hard to stop. COR LEONIS (11) is back after a break of five months. Looking to emulate his win at this track when returning from a spell last prep. Has a solid first-up record of three wins and two placings from six runs. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. PANJA (4) is back from a spell of 12 weeks. Scored a good win at his only run last campaign at Nakayama over 1 ¼m. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the lead. Sure to be thereabouts.
