Beginning Shoma and Ball The Mahoney look to take it up. BEGINNING SHOMA (2) followed a second-up win here two starts back with a solid third at this track over 1230m on June 18. Well placed here and can return to winning form. FLEURIR (4) broke through for her maiden win over 1400m at this track last time, scoring comfortably. Winning rider Ai Takahashi sticks and she is worth including. BALL THE MAHONEY (9) improved last time out to score by a neck over 1400m at this track. Meets some better types this time but another win is not out of the question. VIRIDE SILVA (3) pushed forward from a wide draw last time and sat just off the lead, eventually drawing away to score by one length over 1400m at this track. Can figure in the finish again.
