Genuine pace with Initiate taking up the running ahead of Aireena and Mori Lion Chocolat. ANTILIA (9) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1200m at this track, beaten only 0.8 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. LES FRERES (6) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 3 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1500m at Urawa. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to take this out. INITIATE (7) was safely held when resuming last start over 1200m at this track, finishing 12th and beaten 13 lengths. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Winning claims on best figures. COCO ARISTA (8) closed last prep 12 weeks ago when she finished sixth over 1200m at this track. Serious threat.
