Solid tempo anticipated with Charis Pearl heading them off. MAGO ICHITA (3) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff he finished 12th over 1400m at Sonoda. Should be primed for this. TEXAS TWISTER (1) resumes from a spell of four months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1230m at Sonoda. Has ability and is a solid chance. MEET THE TARGET (10) strode forward early from her wide draw over 1400m at this track last time before fading to finish eighth. Goes well at this trip, recording three minor placings and is capable of going well. CHARIS PEARL (6) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1400m at this track. Well placed and in the mix.
