Cracking tempo with Hanasaki Poplar and Ange Rhapsodie leading the way. ANGE RHAPSODIE (10) returns from a spell. Finished fifth at this track and distance at her only appearance last prep six months ago. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Sure to be in the finish. HANASAKI POPLAR (3) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.6 lengths from the winner in third over 900m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. LEMON SOUFFLE (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she got a long way back over 800m at Urawa, when sixth. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. DYNAMITE BULL (11) settled well back at this course and distance last time but did find the line nicely to finish fifth, beaten 3.5 lengths. Well placed and is among the chances.
