Expecting Hamburg Hammer to take up the running with Mosho and Ravensara close at hand. NORDIA (10) turned in a fine effort to score by a nose at this track and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Finds a tougher race but another big run will not surprise. HERMIONE (2) raced on the speed and lifted to score by a neck at this track and distance when resuming from a layoff last start. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within her grasp. RAVENSARA (8) went fast early and went on to score by 1.75 lengths last time out over 820m at this track. Going up a level this time but she deserves plenty of thought. SOFFIONE (7) is a last-start winner eight weeks ago, scoring by 1.75 lengths over 800m at Himeji. Has solid credentials.
