GOING:

Race 11 2100m

Track:      

Strong tempo from the outset as a number of them push forward, with Ange Luna, Cattleya Nocturne and T's Seraph leading the charge. PENDANT (4) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing 11th over 2000m in the G2 Sankei Sports Sho Flora Stakes (Japanese Oaks Trial) at Tokyo last start. Key runner on her best efforts. SAKIDORITOKKEN (11) was on a winning run of two races but last time out found one better when just edged out over 2000m at Saga. Well placed to return to best form. ANGE LUNA (10) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Placed last time over 1800m at Ohi but prior to that put together six wins on end. Unbeaten here and is not to be underestimated. JWANENG (13) was well supported when resuming last time out over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt and proved too strong, scoring by one length. Won at her only second-up appearance and is among the better chances.
