Shiny Duque is the likely leader at a strong tempo. SEIUN YUZUKA (6) raced close to the lead before clearing out to score an effortless 4 lengths win over 1200m at this track last time. Sure to go well again. SHINY DUQUE (1) resumed over 1200m at this track last time out and finished third, beaten 2.25 lengths. Has an excellent record when second-up, including two wins, and will strip much fitter for this. One of the better chances. TOKUSHI KAGUYAHIME (12) raced on the speed from the outset and went to score by one length last time over 1200m at this track. Goes well over this trip, filling a placing at all five starts, including a win and is one of the prime contenders. S K CAT (2) should be at her peak after three runs this prep, the latest a second over 1200m at this track a month ago. Will drift back but wind up late. Can feature in the finish.
