THE OKA SHO 1600m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Expecting a strong pace headed by Mistress, Lynx Tip and Erika Express. ERIKA EXPRESS (2) is an exciting galloper unbeaten after two starts. Last raced when successful by 3 lengths over 1600m at Nakayama three months ago. Had plenty in hand last time and can measure up to the top class. ARMA VELOCE (9) is a promising type who scored at her only run last prep four-and-a-half months ago over 1600m in the G1 Hanshin Juvenile Fillies at Kyoto. Has a perfect first-up record from two starts. Should park just off the speed. Leading contender. EMBROIDERY (7) impressed when she scored by 2.5 lengths first-up in a weaker race last start over 1600m in the G3 Daily Hai Queen Cup at Tokyo. Has a perfect second-up record from two starts and looks a big threat. LYNX TIP (12) closed last prep nine weeks ago when she finished second over 1800m at Kyoto. Can give this a shake.
