Slick pace with Learn The Ropes finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. RAFFA DURA (9) last appeared on February 9 when a good fourth over 1800m at Tokyo, beaten 1.4 lengths, which was her only run of the campaign. Sound record at this distance with two wins and five minor placings from 10 runs and should be hard to stop. LEARN THE ROPES (14) was an effortless winner last time over 1800m at Tokyo, scoring by 3.5 lengths. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will give a great sight. PAREJA (10) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by 1.3 lengths over 1800m at this track. Open to plenty of improvement and this looks well within her grasp. CHILCANO (11) is back from a spell of three months. Turned in a fair effort at Hanshin over 2000m at her only run last prep, finishing sixth and beaten 2.25 lengths. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
