Expecting Margot Beat to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. MARGOT BEAT (3) returns today and is on a run of four straight wins, the latest over 1200m at this track on May 7. Form this track is hard to knock with four wins from 10 starts. Will be hard to stop. HARPY BLOSSOM (2) recorded a strong on-pace win here last time by 1.5 lengths over 1200m. In fine form and worth following up. TSUKUBA APPLAUSE (5) is back after a break of four months. At the last run before the layoff she finished fourth over 1200m at this track. Good effort to open last prep when in the money at this track over 1200m. Has ability and is a leading player. VICKERS (4) has not won for a long while. Last raced on July 6 when beaten 4 lengths into fourth at this track over 1200m. In the right race and should be in the mix.
