|---|---|---|---|---|

Slick tempo to be established by Your Sora, Flute and Escoba Taht. YOUR SORA (10) showed good pace and went on to score by 2.5 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Will be handy in transit despite the tricky draw. Looks well placed so expect another big run. ESCOBA TAHT (2) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at this track five-and-a-half months ago. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Sure to be in the finish. STRAIGHT DANDY (11) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Funabashi, beaten 4 lengths. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. FLUTE (6) has not won for a long while. Last raced on February 22 when beaten 10 lengths into fifth at this track over 1500m. Placed to advantage so expect a better run this time.
