Outright plays (4pts staked)

Dong-Hwan Lee 1pt ew @ 30-1 (Bet365)

Safe to say that Lee's early efforts in Australia & America didn't go to plan, but immediately on return to Japan he posted a 4th place finish. 10th here last year.

Hirofumi Miyase 1pt ew @ 50-1 (Totesport) Edit: Skybet are 66-1

1st here in 2003, 2nd 12 months ago (a week before winning The Crowns) he began the year with a solid enough effort last week.

Miayse threatened to maintain his course form but faded. -4pts
