Meisho Akikaze should find the front with One Way To Hell and My Queendom on her heels. MEISHO AKIKAZE (2) is yet to break through after four career starts. Managed to fill a minor placing two starts back before finishing eighth over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt last start. Can break through in this suitable contest. ONE WAY TO HELL (3) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 11 lengths into sixth at his latest appearance over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Will play a major role. BEILSTEIN (5) is a two-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 5.5 lengths when seventh over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come. MY QUEENDOM (15) closed last prep six months ago when she finished 11th over 1600m at Chukyo. Well placed and likely to feature.
