|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Loads of pressure, primarily from Peisha Curren, La Jolla Storm and Cool Baby. IKOSAN (13) resumes. Didn't do a bad job at his only run last prep on 2 February, finishing fifth and beaten 3 lengths over 1200m at Kokura. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Among the leading chances. COOL BABY (14) resumes. Eased out of the race at her only run last prep on 16 February. Is a winner at this circuit. Best form good enough to test this field. KING KU (5) was sent out at long odds last time but ran above expectations to finish fourth, beaten only 0.9 lengths, over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Top-three aspirations. LA JOLLA STORM (12) returns after a spell of 11 weeks. Looking to emulate her win at Kokura to kick off the last campaign. Can make her presence felt.
