Solid tempo from Meisho Masakatsu, Shuffle Girl and Sunrise Actor battling for the lead in a high-pressure contest. SHUFFLE GIRL (9) scored her maiden win here last time out over today's trip, getting the decision by 1.75 lengths. Breaks from a wide alley but she is likely to feature in the finish again. MEISHO MASAKATSU (4) was well in commission last start over 1400m at Himeji when second, beaten 2 lengths. Strong record with Hijikata Sota in the irons, including a win. Bold showing expected. TANOMUDE HOMMA (6) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish second over 1400m at this track. Form at this track is solid. Winning claims on best figures. TRAUMBILD (1) won at Himeji two starts ago but was below her best at a more recent appearance, finishing fifth over 1230m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
