Abundant pace from Iikuni Passion, Maeterlinck and Pretty Mizuho vying for the lead with Friend Monaco on their backs. IIKUNI PASSION (6) was well fancied last start over 1200m at Fukushima when second, beaten 7 lengths. This trip suits so worth another chance. MAETERLINCK (10) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1200m at Fukushima, finishing fourth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Likely improver who is expected to be in the finish. PRETTY MIZUHO (4) didn't do a lot on debut three weeks ago, finishing 17 lengths from the winner in 13th over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt. Will take a lot from that experience. Capable of much more this time. MISS EVEREST (11) faced the starter for the first time and finished eighth last start at Fukushima over 1200m, beaten 6 lengths. Open to improvement and can feature.

The run before that second last in a small field at Kokura on July 5 over 1800m, 5 len behind Ask Edinburgh carrying 53.0kg at $77.30. No threat last start but is capable of better. |
