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

Solid tempo likely from Silver Axe and Rouge Filia. ROUGE FILIA (15) is a promising type who was in the placings on debut before a fourth last time over 1200m at Hakodate. Has the early speed to cross from out wide. Will play a major role. SERIENKONIGIN (6) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the layoff she finished fourth over 1600m at Tokyo. Launched last prep with a minor placing at Tokyo over 1600m. Good chance to break through. ON N'A QU'UNE VIE (10) finished second, beaten 0.8 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Fukushima. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LUNAR PHANTOM (7) finished 11 lengths from the winner in ninth last time out over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt on June 13. Better than last start and is a chance in this line up.
