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

Strong tempo with Fern Hill and Entelecheia pressing forward while Dragon Welds kicks up on their inside. MAMA COCHA (13) has been safely held in tougher company at her last two, the latest in stakes class when ninth in the G1 Takamatsunomiya Kinen at Chukyo. Hard to beat back in this grade. YAMANIN AL RIHLA (11) has had mixed fortunes in two runs this campaign, both on turf. Hit the frame fresh at Kyoto finishing third but then missed the placings last time when 14th at Chukyo over 1200m two-and-a-half weeks ago. Faces a much easier essay this time. Sure to feature. DRAGON WELDS (1) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by 1.3 lengths over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Fitter for that last hitout and is expected to run well again. YAMANIN CERCHI (4) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing 12th last start over 1200m in the SAUG2 RIYADH DIRT SPRINT two months ago. Mirai Iwata who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Best figures stack up.
