Tricky one to map with a number of first starters but over this trip there is good speed anticipated. GARDIENNE (13) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 3.5 lengths. Not beaten far and this easier. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. ALM APOGEE (7) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when beaten 5 lengths into third over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt when she was always up in the leading division. Nicely placed to take this out. SATONO ROSALIE (2) returns after four months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a 14th over 1400m at Hanshin. Rates highly and is a chance to break through. GRAND FIERTE (6) is facing the starter for the first time. First-starter by Isla Bonita out of Tsubaki Angel. Profiles strongly for this race. Can make an immediate impact.
