It's likely to be tactical given scant early speed. AL RIHLA (6) was in contention all the way and fought on for third last start over 1400m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. COSMO TAISHI (8) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in third over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. YUINO OTOSHIANA (4) was well in the market when resuming last start but failed to threaten when a disappointing eighth at this track over 1400m. Can feature in the finish. PELLESTRINA (3) raced below her best last time when eighth over 1400m at this track. Finds a nice race and can atone.
