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

Pierce and Vip Joie to battle for the leading role. MATENRO ORIGIN (2) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of four months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 2400m at Hanshin. Good effort to launch last prep when in the money at Kyoto over 2200m. Placed all four starts. Drawn to feature. Can return in winning form. BRIGHT AIRY (14) showed good speed last time out and fought on well when third over 2000m at Tokyo. Should be prominent despite the wide draw. Should run well again. FLORENCE FUGA (8) hit the line nicely to finish third, beaten 1.3 lengths, on debut last start over 2000m at Niigata. Solid top-three hope. MINAZUKI (15) finished 2.75 lengths away in fourth after being in contention on the turn at his last appearance over 2000m at Nakayama on April 19. Finds the right race and is worth consideration.
