Race 12 1700m Track: |

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

Plenty of pace with Silk Needle and Yuzunoki leading from Big Better. YUZUNOKI (2) last raced when successful by a head over 1500m at this track three-and-a-half months ago. Form shown last campaign makes for good reading and expect her to play a major role. SILK NEEDLE (9) continued a hot streak of form, winning over 920m at this track last start to make it three straight. Should appreciate the longer journey and is expected to be in the finish again. WORLD HEART (7) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell, finishing ninth over 1400m at this track. Sure to make his presence felt fresh. OTANI'S SMILE (1) finished fifth over 1700m at this track last time out following a determined win two back. Junki Mochizuki has scored on him four times and is back in the saddle. Among the top-three hopes.
