Sizzling pace from the outset from Gulliver Storm, Dear Taizan and Mukizu locking horns ahead of Noruka Soruka and Himetsuruichimonji. HIMETSURUICHIMONJI (11) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by 3 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Should be close to the speed despite the draw. Meeting a deeper field this time but she deserves plenty of thought. GULLIVER STORM (7) was in the money two starts back here but couldn't back it up last time when sixth at this track over 1870m. Yet to miss the placings in five starts over this course and distance. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. HANABUSA (2) finished eighth at this track over this distance last time out. Has a very good record over today's journey with 15 wins from 29 starts. In the mix.. BURLESCA (6) missed the frame when sixth over 1870m at this track last time out. Yet to miss the placings in three starts over this course and distance. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is right in contention.
