WARA (4) didn't do a bad job when second last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is good enough to play a major role. EL ROI (2) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths starting at $7.40. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. SATONO MUSTANG (1) disappointed last start when out of the placings over 1200m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Facing a tougher assignment but he is up to the task. PORTULACA (3) was below her best last time, finishing 12th and beaten 12 lengths over 1400m at Urawa. Nicely placed to turn things around.
