Expecting a solid pace with Alvarez, Marino Tonitrus and Atsuki Yamato leading the charge. LUCIANA (9) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on 3 May, finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths over 1400m at Kyoto. Big maiden winner over this distance at Nakayama Dirt the run before. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. NINE OF LETTER (15) returns from a spell of 11 weeks. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when sixth over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Expected to be in the finish. THUNDER ALLURE (12) returns after a spell of 11 weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt. One to consider. MARINO TONITRUS (3) closed last prep nine months ago when she finished 11th over 1400m at Tokyo. Better than that run suggests.
