OMOIDENO ATOSAKI (9) will find this a little easier than his third on debut six weeks ago, beaten 6 lengths at the end of 1400m at this track. Likely improver so he shouldn't be a maiden for long. TATSUNO WARRIOR (8) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1600m here when third, beaten 9 lengths. Sure to take a lot from that hitout so he will prove tough to beat. GOOD HORSE (7) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 9 lengths when ninth in a 2000m contest at Niigata six-and-a-half weeks ago. This doesn't look as hard so he is likely to play a big role. FUJI PERLMAN (4) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was beaten 10 lengths into fourth over 1400m at this course. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
