Plenty of speed from Sarasara Hair and Lilies Bloom. MATA MIKANSAN (11) is close to breaking through with three placings from three appearances this prep, last time out finishing second over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Ready to find winning form. YUJUANA (10) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when fourth over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Will strip fitter and looks the main danger. VALENCIA (7) returned from a spell four weeks ago when she was beaten 10 lengths into fourth over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. HYZENTHLAY (14) last appeared when she finished ninth over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt on December 7. Has to be respected.
