Fast tempo assured with Invincible Papa, June Blair and Vega Risu going toe-to-toe. JUNE BLAIR (9) found one better when resuming last start in the G3 Hakodate Sprint Stakes over this distance after she was in contention on the turn. Form over this journey is strong, boasting four wins from six starts. Yutaka Take who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Well placed and should be in the finish. YAMANIN AL RIHLA (14) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by half a length over 1200m in the G3 Kitakyushu Kinen at Kokura. Has a liking for this trip and is among the leading chances. DROP OF LIGHT (3) finished sixth last time out over 1200m at Kokura, beaten 2.75 lengths. Has a good record at this journey with five wins from 16 starts. Must be respected. JUSTIN SKY (13) went to the paddock after scoring at his only appearance last prep three-and-a-half months ago over 1200m at Fukushima. Has found the right race and is worth including.
