||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Moderate tempo with Mieno Fairy leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. BOW WINDOW (9) is a two-start maiden who was close to a win before a ten-week break, finishing off with a minor placing at Tokyo. Jockey Christophe Lemaire back aboard. Can make a winning return. MEINER ARES (6) just missed last time when a neck away in second at Hakodate over 1800m. Genuine contender. MIENO FAIRY (10) has not appeared since she finished third over 2000m at Tokyo on May 24. Major player. REINE LIEBE (8) is a three-start maiden who was close to a win before an 11-week break, finishing off with a minor placing at this track. Has ability so don't underestimate.
