Keen speed battle, with County Fair, Iris Azul and Red Renato prominent. WIN BEATRICE (3) is a promising type who scored at her last run before a break five months ago over 1800m at Fukushima. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Goes well fresh and is sure to be in the finish. FOCAL FLOWER (1) is back at the races for the first time since August 16. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1800m at Fukushima. Has found a suitable race. SNARK PICASSO (6) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1800m at Fukushima, beaten 2.75 lengths into seventh after being prominent at the corner. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. GOLD BREATH (14) has been in the placings at his last two appearances, finishing third over 1600m at Niigata most recently. Should be involved in the finish.
