Taisei Stunner should find the front with Maharaja and White Nile on her heels. TAISEI STUNNER (8) is a five-start maiden who finished seventh, beaten 6 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Fukushima. Fitter for that outing and is a great chance to break her maiden status. GRAND TARUMAE (5) made progress last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1400m at Nagoya. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. WHITE NILE (3) lines up on the back of a 9 length fourth over 1200m at this track. Key contender. MAHARAJA (1) was prominent at the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1200m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Will strip fitter this time. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.
