ATAGO TENJIN (12) returns from a spell of 12 weeks. Closed off last prep in great form including a dominant win over 1200m at this track at his most recent appearance. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Expecting a bold showing. KEIAI CAPELLA (1) did a great job to score by 3.5 lengths over today's course and distance last start in a far better run. The engagement of Fuma Ono is noteworthy. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is good enough to play a major role. CAVALL (7) started at $4.20 last time on the back of a win at this track two starts ago but was below his best, finishing fifth over 1200m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Nicely placed to bounce back. STERRENNACHT (5) finished midfield when resuming from a break last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 7 lengths when well supported. Drawn to go forward. Deserves respect on best figures.
