Woman's Power should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. PEARL FRONT (10) fought on for second last start over 1000m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Awkwardly drawn and might need a little luck early. Racing well and bursting to win. Top chance. MAME TANK (6) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at Hakodate Dirt. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1000m at Hakodate Dirt, beaten 3.5 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. BEE MAX (2) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at this track over 1000m. Goes up a rung or two but he is worth another chance. WOMAN'S POWER (9) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1000m at this track, scoring by a neck. Yet to be beaten at this trip from two starts and is worth following up.
