SABUNO MOANA (1) missed the frame on debut then improved last time when a neck away in second over 1200m at this track. Should be handy in the run. Well placed and can get off the mark this time. AFRO RAIDEL (11) looked good at his only appearance seven months ago over 1400m at this track, finishing third and beaten 7 lengths. Awkward draw to contend with but is among the main hopes. JOHN NO KOTOBA (12) is yet to break through in six runs. Finished seventh at his last appearance over 1600m at this track on March 12. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. SABUNO AINA (3) showed good early speed from the inside draw when fresh from a spell last time out, leading for home before finding one better over 1400m at this track. Has ability and a bold showing is expected.
