|---|---|---|---|---|

Solid tempo with Venice Queen, Resplendor and Wonder Colorful going hard, closely attended by T O Varnay. T O VARNAY (11) scored an impressive win by 4 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 1400m at this track. Will be better for that latest run and is a great chance to get the prize again. PIROKO GIGA MAX (2) was far too good first up last start when she scored by 3.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Open to plenty of improvement and is expected to feature in the finish. RESPLENDOR (9) was far from disgraced when second last start over 1400m at this track, beaten a neck. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. NAMURA OLIVIA (7) missed the placings last start when sixth over 1400m at this track. Toyokazu Tano gets the best out of this six-year-old mare. Finds a nice race and can atone.
