GARRINCHA (5) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Urawa over 1500m. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. JOSHUA (7) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing third and only 1.75 lengths from the winner at the end of 1500m. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. RING BELL GIRL (12) showed good early speed then led into the straight when fresh from a spell last start before fighting on to finish second, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 2000m at Urawa. Bold showing expected. HEROIC BIO (4) lines up for the first time since January 3. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1400m at Kasamatsu. Definite top-three chance.
