Baby Kiss is the likely leader at a strong tempo. BABY KISS (6) lines up on the back of a respectable 1.75 lengths seventh over 1200m at Kyoto at Grade 3 level. Won a couple straight earlier in the prep against similar opposition. Ticks all the right boxes. FABULOUS STAR (8) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was beaten 3 lengths into fourth over 1600m at Tokyo. Fitter and sure to run well. ECORO MARS (9) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at Hanshin, beaten 4 lengths into fourth. Likely improver with strong prospects. LIKE A FLOWER (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
