A SHIN EMERALD (11) has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when third over 800m at this track. Form here at the trip is sound with three wins and six minor placings from 12 runs. Among the leading chances. ECORO WARRIOR (7) scored two runs back then was popular with punters last time but could only manage to finish sixth over the same trip at this track. This is a nice drop in grade so he is one of the main contenders. SIENA ACE (2) has been in sparkling form, scoring three wins on end only to miss the frame last time over 1000m at Funabashi. Back to the scene of his victory two runs back. Koshi Yoshidome who has scored on him two times retains the mount. One of the main contenders. GENESIS MIZAR (5) was responsible for a better run last start, beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth over 1000m at Funabashi. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
