Solid tempo likely with Alvarez, Rize Rainbow and She's A Queen prominent. INNOCENT CAT (2) failed to finish over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt at her most recent appearance on December 8. Has ability and should be right in the finish. ATRIUM CHAPEL (13) returned from a break and was on dirt for the first time last start when a head back in third over 1600m at this track. Settles back early but winds up late. Best form puts her right in this. ERIKA ESTEEM (12) is a progressive galloper who is first-up since finishing ninth over 1800m at Sapporo seven months ago which was the only run of that prep. Has won when fresh from a spell in the past. Should be poised just off the lead. Capable of testing this field. ALNAIR (11) returns from a spell of three-and-a-half months and is having his first run for a new yard. Was a winner when fresh last campaign at Kasamatsu over 1400m.
