Plenty of pace from the outset with Ulzzang and Magical Week leading the charge. ULZZANG (1) resumes in a similar race to her last run five-and-a-half months ago when she scored by one length. Capable of playing a major role fresh. FINGAL'S CAVE (2) resumes from a spell of nine weeks and is having her first outing under new trainer Nozomi Ono. Finished seventh at this track over 1100m at the opening run last time in work. Sure to be primed for this and a bold showing is anticipated. YOSHINO AVANCE (7) finished out of the money when fifth over 1230m at Sonoda five weeks ago. Finds the right race this time and can feature. MIRAGE FLEUR (5) returns after a spell of six months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1000m at this track. Can make her presence felt.
