Ohi Picks

Hard to imagine top pick being beaten. LUXOR CAFE let-up for 12 weeks and has the speed to overcome a very wide draw, tough to beat. ADMIRE DAYTONA in the money at only start running second at Tokyo and has the speed to overcome drawing the widest barrier, place claims. KYOKIRAMBU in the money last start running third at Tokyo and should run fitter for past attempts, quinella. KYOEI SE LEVE ran two lengths back from the winner last start at Fukushima and should run fitter for past attempts, place best.

Genuine speed engaged in this one. ERIKA MAYURI yet to miss the placegetters in two runs and should find the lead easily having drawn well, has solid claims. NEW WALK first-up after 14 week spell and finished nan off the winner at only start at Niigata, each-way claims. TABEZAKARI only just missed at only start, finishing a length back from the winner at Niigata, looks threatening. POD BEL finished in the middle of the pack last start at Ohi and placed when fresh, needs the breaks.

A number of horses will look to battle it out for the early lead. AARON'S ROD only just missed at only start, finishing a length back from the winner at Tokyo, has solid claims. BEST SCENE let-up for five weeks and yet to miss the placegetters in two runs, don't dismiss. CORE only just missed last start, finishing a nose back from the winner at Niigata and placed when fresh, in with a chance.

Solid pace expected in this one. MUSGRAVITE just missed at long odds last start at Ohi when fresh and has genuine early speed, commands respect. CISALPINO resumes from a 36 week spell and winner when on debut at Nakayama, cannot be ruled out. UNQUENCHABLE has plenty of early speed and a likely leader, the real danger in the race. KARMAN LINE draws to do no work and expect to lead, don't treat lightly.

Expecting this to be run at a genuine clip. ELAN has genuine early speed, genuine contender. MEINER JACKAL looks the leader, could threaten. PORTO FELIZ first-up after 30 week spell and has won or placed in both races so far, cannot be ruled out. ZUIUN GOSAI let-up, still in this.

Solid pace expected in this one. CANNELLE 2 wins from nine attempts this campaign and coming off a win at Tokyo, well placed. MIKKI LUCKY has genuine early speed, the real danger in the race. TOHO BORT resumes after a spell of 14 weeks and capable of racing on speed, not without each-way claims. RULER RICH first-up after 32 week break and capable of racing on speed, could upset.

SALVATORE has the speed to overcome drawing the widest barrier, could threaten.

It looks as though the top three selections will fight this out.

TROVATORE let-up and won last start at Nakayama, has solid claims. DONA BETTY has the speed to overcome an unfavourable draw, among the chances. LOGI LEON expect to lead/box seat with a favourable draw, the real danger in the race.
