Crisp Of War, Wonderful Grace and Tokushi Kaguyahime can set a genuine tempo. TOKUSHI KAGUYAHIME (4) showed good fight last start when leading into the straight and sticking on for second over this track and trip. She has yet to score here at the journey but is ultra-consistent, never missing the frame in three attempts, and maps to get a soft run just behind the pace. Hard to hold out. HARPY BLOSSOM (11) resumes after four months and has shown she can fire fresh, having placed over this course and distance when kicking off her last campaign. Must be respected. NOT IN THE EYE (9) also returns from a break and is more than capable of featuring on her best form. CRISP OF WAR (5) has been knocking on the door and finds a winnable race.
