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

Strong early tempo with Femme Elegante driving forward from a wide gate with Idol Festa also handy. LEIA POPO (1) finished eighth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt, beaten 3.5 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. BERTONE (16) is a five-start maiden who is well and truly overdue, finishing fourth at Chukyo Dirt over 1200m last time out after being in the firing line on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. FEMME ELEGANTE (15) raced once in the maiden preparation when 12th at Kokura over 1200m back on February 2. Improver who can feature in the finish. BEE MAX (14) is a three-start maiden who filled a minor placing at Niigata Dirt at the last run before spelling. Jumps from a wide alley. Solid top-three hope.
