FUKU REGULUS (6) finished midfield at his first run back from a spell last start, beaten 12 lengths over 850m at this track at a huge quote. Must be respected. G T WARAWARA (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 850m at this track, beaten 12 lengths. Fitter so expect a better run this time.

LIBERIAN GIRL (3) missed the placings first up recently but was not too far from the winner when sixth over 1300m at this track. Leading prospect. SENTOSA LADY (5) showed early speed from an outside draw when resuming last start and raced on the pace before boxing on well to finish second, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1300m at this track. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. KONIPA (9) finished 0.6 lengths away in third last time out at this track. On a seven-day back-up. Nice run last time and is a leading contender. HAPPY GLORY (4) resumed over 1300m at this track last start and was too good for her rivals, scoring by 2.5 lengths. Fitter for that last hitout and appeals as a solid top-three hope.
6 02:40 Race 6 1300m
CATHPAN (1) has been safely held at her last couple of starts, the latest when always well back in 15th over 2000m at Kyoto. Is very well placed in this inferior company. Should bounce back.
