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

Sheer Elegance should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. METIERS D'ART (1) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at her latest appearance over 1200m at Kokura. Has ability and sure to prove tough to beat. RED EVANS (5) improved last time out, finishing 2.75 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1400m at Hanshin. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MAY POWER (4) finished third, beaten 2.25 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at Nakayama after she was in the firing line on the bend. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. SHEER ELEGANCE (6) is a two-start maiden who finished fifth, beaten 7 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Fukushima. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Solid claims on best form.
