Seiun Platina and Cosmo Kuranda to bowl along in front. Hard to go past REGALEIRA (7). Only had one start last campaign 7th of 17 in the G1 Takarazuka Kinen at Hanshin on June 14 over 2200m. Won this last year as favourite before claiming the Grade 1 QEII Cup. Goes very well fresh and rates the one to beat again. COSMO KURANDA (9) was midfield in this last year but since then has run very well at the top level. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Sure to be in the finish. JUNE TAKE (13) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Scored over 2200m at Kyoto to launch the last campaign. Boasts a first-up record of two wins and three placings from seven starts. Has two wins this level and goes best when fresh. ETHELFLEDA (12) is back from a spell after closing last campaign with a couple of wins. Promising mare facing her toughest test. Has won 4/5 here. Can measure up. PANJA (6) is a course and distance winner resuming. Has the ability to run well.
