Genuine tempo with Wonder Woman to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. KITANO EXPRESS (6) returns from a spell of a year and did score first-up when last in work at Kokura over 1200m. Lines up for the first time for the Junji Tanaka stable. Nicely placed and expected to go well. LUCKY HOPE (5) scored by a neck over this distance at this track last time out. Form here is strong boasting 17 wins from 34 starts. Expect a bold showing. STEEL PEGASUS (8) was narrowly beaten last start when second in a small field over 1200m at this track. Ryu Abe has registered three minor placings when on board. Expected to measure up. WONDER WOMAN (7) was in contention on the corner and finished third last time over 1200m at this track, beaten 0.6 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing.
