Abundant pace from Ankoro, Oaken and Smart Vivid vying for the lead with Kanta Wood Tail on their backs. SMART VIVID (4) pushed forward and went on to record a determined win last start by 2.5 lengths over 800m at this track. Going up a level this time but she cannot be underestimated. ANKORO (5) found plenty to get the prize by half a length three runs back at Sonoda before filling a minor placing at her last two starts. F Komaki who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Sure to run well. HINATA LADY (11) was prominent throughout last time when second over 800m at this track. Should be in the finish again. AKAZA (6) showed good early speed last start over this journey at this track before finishing third. This is a more suitable contest and can find winning form.
