Plenty of pressure from Mikki Jewelry, In Vogue and Power Hall battling for the lead over Learn The Ropes. IN VOGUE (4) last appeared when sixth over 2000m in the G3 KOKURA HIMBA STAKES 12 weeks ago at the only appearance of that campaign. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Resuming in easier grade and off the low draw will take catching. MIKKI JEWELRY (6) drew wide last time and was safely held when 14th over this track and trip after meeting with market support. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Will give a great sight. LEARN THE ROPES (1) fought on well to finish second last start over 1600m at Chukyo, beaten 0.8 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. SWEEP AWARDS (5) is ready to win after he just missed last time, beaten half a length into third over 1600m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects.
