MIND BLOWN (5) comes here off a break of 11 weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1400m at Kasamatsu. Capable of playing a major role. PURA VIDA (1) started at $9.50 last time on the back of a win at Urawa two starts ago but was below her best, finishing eighth over 1500m at Urawa. Finds a nice race and can make amends. VINA SAIGON (6) hit the frame when resuming two runs back at Urawa but couldn't back it up last start when 11th, beaten 22 lengths, over 1500m at Urawa. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. ROCK CITY BOY (10) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 8 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.
