Pace looks sure to be genuine with Discree King and Olivia Sunrise matching motors, closely followed by Rugiada. OLIVIA SUNRISE (9) was again denied last start when she found one better over 1400m at Himeji. Likely contender. MEISHO YASUMASA (2) started at $8 last time and ran below expectations, finishing 11tth at Himeji over 1500m. Well placed and can atone. TECHNO DRAGON (5) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at Himeji. In the right race and is a winning hope. DEN LILLE HAVFRUE (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at Himeji. Another bold effort is on the cards.
