Expecting a strong pace headed by Sexy Cat, Fairy Taizan and Victory Bridge. VICTORY BRIDGE (11) has strung together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on April 14 over 1230m when he scored by 9 lengths. Winning rider Wataru Hirose retains the mount. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. HORNFELS (8) was well in commission last start over 820m at this track when sixth, beaten 2.75 lengths. Worth another chance. RACHAEL PEGASUS (7) did a great job to score by 2.5 lengths over today's course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Meets some better types this time but another win beckons. SEXY CAT (3) has been about the mark of late. Last time out was 2.25 lengths from the winner in sixth over 820m at this track. Fitter and should play a role in the finish.
