Balsamico should find the front with Mill Minerva and Rose Bloom on her heels. MILL MINERVA (1) is back from a break of 11 weeks. Raced below par at her only appearance last prep when seventh over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Likely to feature. GOLDEN TIPS (14) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 3 lengths. Strips fitter and can find the winner's circle. MORINO RED STAR (3) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 1200m at Fukushima. Finally draws a decent gate so can get back to winning ways. OMMAGA TORU (11) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt, beaten 8 lengths. Fitter this time and will prove harder to beat.
