SHUNRAI STAKES(L) 1200m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Certain to be a strong tempo with Mild Claymore, Lord Four Aces and Yoshino Easter leading the charge. LORD FOUR ACES (7) has been in good form, scoring three back at Kyoto then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing second when he was prominent throughout over 1200m at Hanshin. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to take this out. STAKEHOLDER (10) changes rider since being well held last time in tenth over 1200m in the G3 Yukan Fuji Sho Ocean Stakes at this track on March 1. Capable of a lot more. YOSHINO EASTER (8) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was prominent at the turn before being beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth over 1200m at Hanshin. Second up record is very strong. Stepping up a level this time but with added fitness he is capable of testing his rivals. MIKKI HARMONY (13) finished third at this track and distance at her last appearance 12 weeks ago. Can make her presence felt.
