The pace looks very strong with plenty of speed engaged. SOY JAGUAR (2) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second when resuming last start over 1860m at Saga. Will take advantage of the good draw. Facing a tougher assignment but she is up to the task. ZERO HOUR (6) showed good early pace over 1400m at this track when resuming last time and kept going to score by one length. Facing a tougher assignment but she is worth serious consideration. SMART AMBER (3) made it two wins in succession last time out when she scored by 5 lengths over 1870m at Sonoda. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done again. KASHIMA SWEEP (4) is a last-start winner three-and-a-half weeks ago, scoring by half a length over 2000m at Nagoya. Strong top-three chance.
