KRAUSELUNG (5) was in the firing line on the bend and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1400m at Kawasaki after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. IRODORINO KAORI (3) made progress last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to find winning ways. POWDER SNOW (11) is yet to break through after five starts. Placed two back then last time out was fifth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Should be camped just off the leaders. Shapes well and is among the main hopes. COMPOST (6) is yet to break through after 10 starts but not far off a win. Placed two back then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 1500m at Kawasaki. Suited here and can sneak into the finish.
