Thorough Catherine and It's Cool possess good early speed and will battle for early honours. THOROUGH CATHERINE (11) is resuming from a spell of three months and is looking to add to a sequence of three wins, the most recent over 1400m at Himeji. Has been in the top three at all seven starts here, including two wins. Will prove tough to beat. STEEL PEGASUS (8) returns from a break of four-and-a-half months. Has a strong fresh record including three wins. Likely to be in the finish. JASPER SHINE (3) finished tenth over 1200m at this track at his most recent appearance on November 8. Worth plenty of thought fresh. PINK VENOM (7) last appeared seven-and-a-half weeks ago over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt when she finished ninth. This is her first run for the Hideki Kakugawa stable and she should be primed for this.
