Expecting Glastonbury to take up the running with Yorino Sapphire and Mi Favorito close at hand. YORINO SAPPHIRE (10) finished eighth two runs back at Tokyo Dirt then improved last time out to score by 8 lengths after being in contention on the turn over 2400m at Nakayama Dirt. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is up to the challenge. FRENCH GIFT (7) settled well back from the inside draw last start before coming home nicely to finish 2.5 lengths away in seventh over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Will drift back but will be getting home hard. PEACE OF THE LIFE (13) scored by 1.3 lengths last start at Kyoto Dirt over this distance. Is yet to miss the frame from three starts at this distance, including two wins. Shapes as one to consider. MI FAVORITO (6) was beaten 2.25 lengths into sixth at the second run back from a break in a 1800m contest at Nakayama Dirt at her latest appearance. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
