Plenty of pressure primarily from My Charge, Yamaichi Lovely and Techno Express. NINEN E GUMI (4) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing a neck away in second over 800m at Himeji. Well-placed and is going to prove tough to run down. TECHNO EXPRESS (2) stuck on well when resuming last start to finish third over 800m at Himeji after showing good early speed. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. A SHIN BIRMAN (3) was always well out of her ground when seventh in a 1400m contest at Himeji two weeks ago. Well placed and in the mix. NORDIA (8) did well last start but found one better over 800m at Himeji, beaten only 1.5 lengths. Nicely placed to feature in the finish.
