Expecting It's Andrea to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. HUNTING GEAR (10) is in top form lately scoring two wins on end, including a determined 1.5 lengths win over 1200m at this track last time. Should go close if runs up to latest. BOWERS (8) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 23 starts. Was again denied last start when she found a couple better over 1400m at Urawa. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run. WUNDER (9) was prominent from the outset and fought on for third last start over 1200m at this track, making it three minor placings in a row. Facing a tougher assignment but she is capable of running a bold race. WIN JOURNEE (6) lines up for the first time since December 7. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1400m at Kasamatsu. Has switched to the Noboru Tamai stable. Among the better hopes.
