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

Solid tempo likely from Miss Margaux and Star Grip. SNOWSHOE (8) returns from a break of six months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1500m at this track. Ideally placed to score while fresh. DREAM JAPAN (4) has had two runs since a break, the latest a fourth over 1600m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Has a solid record at the third run in so a top-three finish is on the cards. STAR GRIP (2) was a gutsy winner two runs back then ran fourth over 1400m at Ohi on April 17. Has a strong record at this course, scoring six times from 10 starts. One of the main contenders. MISS MARGAUX (9) is having her first run since March 4. Has a very good fresh record, scoring five times including one over 1400m at this track at the start of last prep. Can make her presence felt while fresh.
