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

Moderate pace only with Riko Patriot leading Himawari Shower. SANDROCK (1) ran below expectations last time after being in contention on the turn at Mizusawa, finishing ninth and after starting at even money. A little tougher here, though she rates highly on her prior form. Can bounce back to winning ways. HIMAWARI SHOWER (2) returned last time with a solid third at this track over 1400m. Likely improver with bright prospects. BACKTRACK (8) was never in contention when resuming last start over 1400m at this track, finishing eighth and beaten 8 lengths. Can feature in the finish. DERE HANDSOME (6) is a three-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at this track over 1400m, beaten 6 lengths. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time.
