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

Strong tempo with Archaique Star, Yodono Honey and Hearty Eyes going forward ahead of Diomedes and Victoria Lily. VICTORIA LILY (9) finished in tenth when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at Ohi. Placed at her only other second up appearance. Can bounce back in this much easier assignment today. ARCHAIQUE STAR (11) has not been sighted since she scored over 1400m at this track on November 27. Can pick up from where he left off last campaign. DIOMEDES (7) returned from a spell two months ago when he was tenth over 1400m at this track. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. LEMON DROP (6) finished fourth over 1500m at this track when resuming last start, beaten only 1.5 lengths. Fitter so can feature in the finish.
