TOMBO (11) has scored at his last three starts, most recently by 4 lengths over 1500m at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with six wins and four minor placings from 12 outings. Top chance again. EN CLOCHE (5) is racing well. Scored at Urawa two back then finished third, beaten a long neck, over 1400m at Urawa at the latest appearance five-and-a-half weeks ago. Mai Fukuhara who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Well placed and should be in the finish. ASHOKA (6) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1500m at Urawa. Can make his presence felt. GAGA HYAKUMANGOKU (8) was well beaten last time and finished at the tail at Funabashi but carries less weight today. Looks well placed here so may be worth including.
