Lady Gunner should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. FOUR SIDE NINE (10) was a gutsy winner last time over 1400m at this track, scoring by half a length to make it three wins in succession. Has a formidable combination with Shinji Hatanaka who has been aboard for his last three wins. Best form puts him right in this. CAPTIF (9) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth. Form here at this trip reads two wins from four starts. Likely to feature. LADY GUNNER (6) ran below expectations last time after being in contention on the bend at this track, finishing sixth. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. GRAN REGENT (4) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
