A solid tempo on the cards with Asaka Love Love leading the way. ASAKA LOVE LOVE (3) was last at the races when she saluted over 820m at Sonoda on October 10. Rates highly and should take some beating. NISSHIN GEPPO (11) ran below expectations last time at Sonoda, finishing seventh and beaten 7 lengths starting at $1.70. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. BELLADONNA LILY (5) got the cash over 820m at Sonoda at her most recent appearance on July 11. Can make her presence felt. SMART PLAISIR (4) turned things around last start and got the job done by a nose over 820m at Sonoda. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
