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

A race that lacks early pressure on paper. RIKEA SABLE (3) was well in commission last start over 1400m at Himeji when third. Sound record at this distance with three wins and five minor placings from 11 runs and should be hard to stop. GLORIOUS APOI (2) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1400m at this track. Has found a suitable race. ANTHRACITE (8) resumes. Was racing well immediately prior to the break registering two minor placings in a row, the latest over this course and distance. One of the main contenders. ASHAKA DUMEY (7) turned things around last start and got the job done by a neck over 1400m at Himeji. Likely to be there at the finish again.
