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

Scented Jewel has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. SAKURA GRACIEUX (1) did a great job to score by 5 lengths over today's course and distance last start in a much improved run. Finds a tougher race but she has the talent to test this line-up. HESHIKIRI (2) finished 4 lengths back in third over 820m at this track last time out after a gutsy win the start prior. Kazuyuki Watase stays on. Sure to run well. YELL QUEEN (3) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1400m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Best figures measure up nicely. Can do a lot better. KOIBITOMISAKI (5) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish eighth here. Can feature in the finish.
