Solid tempo with His Masterpiece, Venator and Watashi Matsuwa going hard, closely attended by Margot Blow. HIS MASTERPIECE (10) won two on end then tackled far tougher grade than this at next three, including the Grade 1 Juvenile Fillies. Hard to beat this class. MARGOT BLOW (5) scored a dominant victory at Nakayama over 1600m at his latest appearance on April 19. Finished campaign with a win and has won fresh. Look for a bold run. ARDE TOP GUN (1) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on May 9, finishing fifth and beaten 10 lengths over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Can make his presence felt. SHONAN CHARIS (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at Hakodate, beaten 2 lengths into fifth. Has her share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
