Flor Dorada is expected to lead at a strong tempo. JUNE LAND (6) closed last campaign with three consecutive minor placings and is back today after a break of five-and-a-half months. Yet to miss the top three here in five starts. Right in this. TSUMUGU (1) is having his first run since winning by 4 lengths seven weeks ago over 1300m at Saga. Has transferred to the Masahiro Saito stable over the break. Worth serious consideration. SHEER ELEGANCE (11) ran a nice race last time out over 1400m at Kasamatsu, finishing second and beaten 1.5 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. FLOR DORADA (8) returns from a layoff of six-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1000m at this track. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
