Expecting Meiwa Sherry to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. MEIWA SHERRY (3) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 7 lengths when fourth in a 1300m contest at this track five weeks ago after being prominent at the corner. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. YAMATO KACHIDOKI (8) is poised to win after placing at her last four outings, most recently when second over 1400m at Kawasaki. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. MARUNO ANNA (7) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. NISHINO TENKAFUBU (2) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a ninth over 1500m at Kawasaki after he gave away a big start. Well placed and can fill a top-three spot.
