Pace looks sure to be genuine with Miracle Ace and Calligraphy matching motors, closely followed by Wonder Biscuit. MIRACLE ACE (5) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of four months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1400m at Sonoda. Looks the one to beat. WONDER BISCUIT (6) ran a nice race when resuming from a spell last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing third. Likely improver. ANEMOS ELPIDA (3) didn't feature last start when eighth over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up and look for an improved run. MAESTRO LIGHT (1) was never really in the hunt last time, drifting back early and winding up 5.5 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1400m at Sonoda. Leading prospect on best form.
