Genuine pace with Nishino Lynda finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. SOY JAGUAR (9) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by 2 lengths over today's journey at this track. Is yet to be beaten in three starts at this course and distance. Expected to measure up. NISHINO LYNDA (6) finished fourth last start, beaten 5 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Has found the frame in all four starts at this journey, including two wins. Reunites with Isao Yamaguchi who has five wins when on board. Sure to run well. BEIDEN MARINA (5) finished fourth over 1300m at this track last time out following a determined win two back. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Capable of testing this field. SMART AMBER (10) strung wins together then has filled minor placings at her last couple, most recently when beaten 5 lengths into second over 1500m at Nagoya. Best figures measure up and is sure to run well.
