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

Genuine pace headed by Ardechois from her wide gate. ARDECHOIS (10) returns from a spell of ten weeks. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when 12th over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Under the care of new trainer Tsuyoshi Takano this prep. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will play a major role. CORAL KING (8) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. LIME FLAVOR (2) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when third over 1200m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Should be right there. FRIEND ROMA (3) returns after a spell of four-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1200m at this track. Definite top-three chance.
