Plenty of pace from Peisha Val Two, Pod Sol and Meisho Kyrgyz vying for the lead, with a few others keeping them honest. HAYATENO TSUBASA (11) is back from a 12 weeks spell. Was in career best form last campaign including a huge course and distance win when last resuming. Expected to run well. AMERICAN BIKINI (8) finished 43 lengths behind the winner in 13th place when resuming over 1200m last start in the G3 Kitakyushu Kinen at Kokura. Has a very strong second up record. This easier and can atone. BERGUN (5) was prominent through the early and middle stages but peaked on her run and finished sixth when resuming over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt last start. Generally runs well second-up. Should park just off the speed. One to consider. VERO CUORE (7) was prominent early when resuming last start but faded in the second half to finish eighth over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt. Second up record is sound. Should be much improved.
