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

Certain to be a strong tempo with Miyaji Regalia, Smart Cape and T O Ruby leading the charge. PULCHRITUDE (6) ran on strongly only to just miss as favourite last start over 1800m at this track. Placed to advantage so expect another forward showing. T O RUBY (15) lines up for the first time since February 9. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Expect her to play a major role. LUNAVIS (5) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just two times from 22 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1800m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MIYAJI REGALIA (10) was last at the races when she finished fifth over 1700m at Kokura Dirt on February 1. Makes plenty of appeal.
