Verdict

CLEAN ONE (7) returns today and is on a run of four straight wins, the latest over 1 ?m at Busan on May 24. Superb strike rate and unbeaten course and distance. Looks the one to beat. DIKTAEAN (8) is back from a spell of ten weeks. Raced once last campaign and finished third over 1 ¼m at Ohi. Takayuki Yano who has two wins when partnering stays on. Won only try course and distance which was this race last year. Among the leading chances. SUNDAY FUNDAY (9) saluted at the first run back from a spell last start over 1 ¼m at Morioka Dirt, scoring by 1.3 lengths. Has been given a let-up of seven weeks since that outing. Fitter for that last hitout and is among the winning hopes again. FUNNY WILD (1) resumes after a break of three months. Trying to repeat his debut win over 6f at Busan to kick off last prep. Makes plenty of appeal.
