Cracking tempo with Crystal Cave and Birewecka leading the way. CELEB UMAZAMMAI (7) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1200m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BIREWECKA (9) returned to winning form last start, scoring by 3 lengths over this journey at this track. Has a sound record at this journey with a win and one minor placings. Rates highly and can measure up. FACE KHMER (10) did a great job to score by 4 lengths over this course and distance when first-up from a break last start. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. CRYSTAL CAVE (1) returns from a spell of 13 months and did score first-up when last in work at Monbetsu over 1000m. Lines up for the first time for the Yuta Sato stable.
