GOING:

YODOYABASHI STAKES 1200m

Track:      

South Bank, Anitra and Ecoro Sieg to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. MEISHO PEACE (2) returned from a spell seven weeks ago when she was beaten 4 lengths into fourth over 1200m at Kokura. Likely improver with strong prospects. BAND SHELL (11) ran on hard from the tail latest to finish midfield. Freshened and back in trip. Has a big finish. Can easily finish right over the top of these. SOUTH BANK (6) returned from a spell three weeks ago when she was in the firing line on the bend before being beaten 4.5 lengths into eighth over 1200m at Nakayama. Fitter and sure to run well. CECILIE PLAGE (4) is back from a break of four months. Raced below par at her only appearance last prep when 12th over 1400m at Kyoto. Worth plenty of thought.
