Genuine tempo with the speedy Schon Stier leading the way. MIKKI MADONNA (4) ran a strong race first up then tackled stakes-class last time and finished fifth over 1800m in the G3 Flower Cup at this track. Looks the goods in this far easier assignment. NOBILISSIMA VISION (6) did her best work late and got up for third when resuming over today's trip at this track last start. Suited by the small field so expect her to be right in the finish. ZARATAN (5) progressed nicely last time out when she did her best work late to finish just 1.1 lengths from the winner in third over 1600m at Chukyo. Has the talent to build on that encouraging effort last start. SHONAN SOMEDAY (7) was well in the market when resuming last start but failed to threaten when a disappointing fifth at this track over 2000m. Worth noting her strong second-up record. Should be in the mix.
