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

From the wide draw Trifolato can cross and set up a solid tempo. ROPA CHIC (14) was well in commission first up from a break last start over 2000m at Hakodate when third, beaten 3.5 lengths. Will improve and is worth another chance. STRAIGHT BLACK (3) finished third last time over 2000m at Tokyo to make it two minor placings from seven career runs. Gets her chance to break through. AROMA FELIZ (8) finished third last start over 2000m at Hakodate, beaten 1.75 lengths. Racing well this prep and looks hard to beat in this suitable race. BUTLERS WHARF (16) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing half a length away in second over 2000m at Hakodate. Worth including.
