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

Loads of pressure, primarily from Shonan Marine, Seven Colors and Silver Ghost. SHONAN MARINE (6) has really found form lately, easily winning again last start over 1400m at this track. Rates as the testing material again. SEVEN COLORS (5) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by half a length over 1500m at Nagoya as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with three wins from four starts. Leading player again. AITAKA (11) returns from a layoff of four-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1800m at this track. Comes here with definite top-three claims. HANANO UTA (2) went to the lead from the low draw last time out and was still there on straightening, eventually finishing second over 1400m at this track. Sure to run boldly again.
