SANONO TARUMAE (9) made it two wins in succession last start when she scored by one length over 1200m at Funabashi. Meeting a tougher field but on current form she is one of the key runners. QUEEN'S HAT (7) finished 8 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1200m at Funabashi two weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Major player in this line up. GUEST PRINCIPAL (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Kawasaki, beaten 6 lengths into fifth after being in the firing line on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. ULTRA WORLD (11) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1400m at Kawasaki. Goes well at this journey with three wins and three placings from seven starts and has solid claims.
