From the inside gate Into The Flow has the dash to lead, but Ankoro and Oaken should be right on her heels. INTO THE FLOW (1) is a handy five-year-old mare who returned from a break last start and finished 0.8 lengths away in second over 820m at Sonoda. Leading player. ANKORO (7) is a five-time winner who has been performing well, beaten 0.6 lengths into third last time out over 800m at this track. Goes well at the trip and she looks sure to about the mark again. DEVIL SHIZUKACHAN (5) missed the frame as favourite last time over 800m at this track after she had won four races on end. Goes very well at this journey, boasting four wins from seven starts and is one of the contenders. SMART MACE (9) turned in a fine effort to win by 4 lengths at today's course and distance when first-up from a spell last time out. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge.
