|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong tempo, primarily from Flash Kelly and Bellagio Dream. BELLAGIO DREAM (1) lines up for the first time since February 10. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1500m at Nagoya. Has found a suitable race. SETTING SUN (2) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when fourth over 1400m at this track. Will strip fitter and is sure to be about the mark. DANON ONEUP (6) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by 1.75 lengths over 1400m at this track. Will be better for that latest run and is among the winning hopes again. FLASH KELLY (7) won at this track two starts ago but was below her best at a more recent appearance, finishing fifth over 1230m here. Should be competitive in this suitable race.
