MISTRA (1) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Not as effective last time out when third over 1200m at Funabashi, beaten 5.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SMILE FELIZ (10) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. CLAM (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Urawa, beaten 6 lengths into seventh. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MEIWA NOIX (12) was prominent at the bend and finished second last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race.
