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

Strong tempo, primarily from Proud Fleur and Holy Grail. APPEALING LOOK (12) has been kept fresh since she resumed last start and proved too strong, scoring by half a length over 2000m at Nagoya. Has a solid second-up record and happy to have her on top. TENKA JO (5) is back after a break of nine weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1800m at Ohi. Has ability and should be right in the finish. MEMORIA CAFE (4) returns from a spell. Finished second at this track and distance at her only appearance last prep four-and-a-half months ago. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Capable of testing this field. HOLY GRAIL (6) scored last start at Ohi to make it two wins from two starts this campaign. Has a high cruising speed. One of the better hopes.
