Loads of pressure, primarily from Noble Needle, T Ramirez and Ashaka Tobe. ASHAKA TOBE (9) opened this prep last start with a third, beaten 7 lengths, over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt. Likely to feature. RIKU EI (4) turned in a better run last time to finish third over 1200m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PEPPER MILL (7) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1200m at this track, beaten a neck. Nicely placed to go one better. SILVER DON (12) was too good for a maiden field when resuming last start over 1200m at this track, scoring by 0.8 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Re-unites with Shu Ishibashi who was on board last start. Tougher task this time but expected to be competitive again.
