Yubae has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. YOSHINO RICKEY (7) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for third last start over 1400m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. YUBAE (10) started favourite last time but found one better over 800m at this track. Will appreciate the extra ground. Worth another chance. KEY CLASSIC (1) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when fourth over 1400m at this track after he was in the firing line on the bend. Will strip fitter and looks the main danger. LYNDA (2) returned from a spell a week-and-a-half ago when she was in the firing line on the turn before finishing fourth over 1400m at this track. Fitter and sure to run well.
