Allure Tailor should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. AROMA FELIZ (11) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 1.75 lengths over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Breaks from a wide alley but she is a leading contender in this harder race. SHUDUN (7) is a progressive four-year-old filly who hasn't raced since finishing second over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt on June 21 which was the only run of that prep. Has a win and three minor placings at this journey from five starts and is expected to feature. DERMA SAKURA SAKU (1) fought on for third last start over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt, making it two minor placings in a row. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. ARISTOCRACIA (4) has not won for a long while. Last raced on April 11 when beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth at Hanshin Dirt over 1800m. Each-way prospects.
