The presence of the first starters could see Shadow Ruler and Aikan Azzurra struggle to get their own way in front. LEVER DU SOLEIL (2) returns after 11 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with an eighth over 1600m at Hanshin but wasn't far away at all three runs. Has ability and sure to prove tough to beat. AIKAN AZZURRA (11) improved last time out, finishing one length from the winner in second at the end of 1400m at Kyoto Dirt after being in contention on the bend. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat. O K LIEN (12) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in second over 1400m at this track. Likely improver who is among the better chances. LEUKOTHEA (14) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Has ability and worth including.
