|---|---|---|---|---|

Lots of speed predominantly from God Amavel, Love Love Four and Sun Uikyo. SUN UIKYO (10) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win at this track over 820m. Form this track is hard to knock with six wins from nine starts. Should run well. GOD AMAVEL (3) saluted at Himeji two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when in contention on the bend before finishing second over 820m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths. Has a good record at this course and distance, including three wins. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within her grasp. LOVE LOVE FOUR (2) improved sharply on her seventh two starts back at Ohi with success as public elect over 1000m at Ohi three weeks ago, getting home comfortably after being in the firing line on the corner. Facing a tougher assignment but she is worth serious consideration. AKAZA (9) has registered three minor placings from four runs this preparation. Continued the trend last time out when runner-up over 820m at this track. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
