Doubt they will go too hard without a noted leader engaged. CHERBOURG RAIN (9) finished tenth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at Sonoda, beaten 4 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BLONDE ALE (2) missed the placings two starts back when resuming then ran a better race and finished 3 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1230m at Sonoda. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. MAGICAL FACE (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Sonoda, beaten 6 lengths into sixth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. KEIAI MANUKA (8) was responsible for a better run last start at the second run of the prep, beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth over 1400m at Sonoda. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
