Strong tempo with June Eos and T O Ruby leading the way over Erika Sapphire. LOFTY STORY (9) finished second when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Promising filly who found one better fresh. Fitter and gets chance. ROUGE ABELIA (11) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Looks well placed so expect another big run. PULCHRITUDE (1) is having her second run back from a break after she failed to threaten first up over 2000m in the G3 KOKURA HIMBA STAKES, beaten 12 lengths. Takes on much easier opposition this time. Capable of taking this out. ERIKA SAPPHIRE (13) returns from a spell of four months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when sixth over 2100m at Tokyo Dirt. Should camp just off the leaders. Don't underestimate.
