Slick tempo assured from Preparense and Arabesque Penchee leading the charge. DAIEI BILBERRY (12) went fast early and went on to score by 3 lengths last time out over 800m at Urawa. Will be handy in transit despite the tricky draw. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is capable of a big performance. PREPARENSE (9) has been racing in great heart with four top-three finishes on end, the latest a second over 800m at Urawa when she was always up in the leading division. Taking on a better line-up this time but she deserves plenty of thought. JUNIPER DANCE (5) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at Urawa over 800m. Can measure up again. MEMORIAL QUEEN (13) was in contention on the corner and finished second last start over 800m at Urawa, beaten 3 lengths. Should take a lot from that hit-out. In the right race and is a top-three hope.
