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

Genuine pace headed by Weiss Dragoner who should kick up along the paint. JUNGLE MARISA (6) defied a lack of market support last start, scoring by half a length over 1400m at Himeji. Can measure up again. SMART COMMANDER (8) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third over 1400m at this track. Could prove hard to hold out. NATURAL (12) ran a nice race last time out, finishing second over 1230m at this track. In the mix again. SAKURA VIGUEUR (11) ran a strong race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing fourth. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
