Certain to be a strong tempo with Tagano Elpida, Cervinia and Windstille leading the charge. STELLENBOSCH (7) oka Sho (Japanese 1000 Guineas) winner. Is a speedy filly who was a winner first up in the G1 Oka Sho (Japanese 1000 Guineas) at Hanshin six weeks ago. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset and will give a great sight. Grade 3 winner CERVINIA (12) finished 13th when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at Hanshin. Reunites with C P Lemaire who has never missed the top three from three rides, including two wins. Strips fitter and looks to have an edge on most of these. LIGHT BACK (14) grade 1 placegetter. Wound up strongly last time out to finish 1.1 lengths adrift in third over 1600m at Hanshin when resuming after a spell. Among the main chances. Grade 2 winner SWEEP FEET (13) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1600m at Hanshin. Key player.
