|---|---|---|---|---|

Pace looks sure to be genuine with Cosmo Basileus and Cosmo Viola matching motors, closely followed by Mitono Dream. COSMO BASILEUS (2) was well in commission last start over 1400m at this track when second. Can bounce back. MITONO DREAM (3) is back from a spell of six-and-a-half months. Scored a determined win at her final run last campaign at this track over 1300m. Looks a winning chance. HAKUAI ASSIST (1) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing second last time over 1400m at this track. Has her share of talent and finds a suitable race. HEKIKU (4) turned in a fine effort to score by half a length at this track and distance last start in a far better run. Finds another suitable race and can go on with the job.
